Emergency maneuvers

• In an unavoidable emergency situation where a sudden sharp turn

must be made, remember to avoid over-driving your vehicle, i.e., turn

the steering wheel only as rapidly and as far as required to avoid the

emergency. Excessive steering will result in less vehicle control, not

more. Additionally, smooth variations of the accelerator and/or brake

pedal pressure should be utilized if changes in vehicle speed are called

for. Avoid abrupt steering, acceleration or braking which could result

in an increased risk of loss of vehicle control, vehicle rollover and/or

personal injury. Use all available road surface to return the vehicle to a

safe direction of travel.

• In the event of an emergency stop, avoid skidding the tires and do not

attempt any sharp steering wheel movements.

• If the vehicle goes from one type of surface to another (i.e., from

concrete to gravel) there will be a change in the way the vehicle

responds to a maneuver (steering, acceleration or braking). Again,

avoid these abrupt inputs.

Sand

When driving over sand, try to keep all four wheels on the most solid

area of the trail. Avoid reducing the tire pressures but shift to a lower

gear and drive steadily through the terrain. Apply the accelerator slowly

and avoid spinning the wheels.

Avoid excessive speed because vehicle momentum can work against you

and cause the vehicle to become stuck to the point that assistance may

be required from another vehicle. Remember, you may be able to back

out the way you came if you proceed with caution.

Mud and water

Note: Driving through deep water may damage the vehicle.

If you must drive through high water, drive slowly. Traction or brake

capability may be limited.

When driving through water, determine the depth; avoid water higher

than the bottom of the hubs (if possible) and proceed slowly. If the

ignition system gets wet, the vehicle may stall.

Once through water, always try the brakes. Wet brakes do not stop the

vehicle as effectively as dry brakes. Drying can be improved by moving

your vehicle slowly while applying light pressure on the brake pedal.
