Note: Do not rock the vehicle if the engine is not at normal operating

temperature or damage to the transmission may occur.

Note: Do not rock the vehicle for more than a few minutes or damage to

the transmission and tires may occur or the engine may overheat.

Emergency maneuvers

WARNING: Vehicles with a higher center of gravity such as

utility and four-wheel drive vehicles handle differently than

vehicles with a lower center of gravity. Utility and four-wheel drive

vehicles are not designed for cornering at speeds as high as passenger

cars any more than low-slung sports cars are designed to perform

satisfactorily under off-road conditions. Avoid sharp turns, excessive

speed and abrupt maneuvers in these vehicles. Failure to drive

cautiously could result in an increased risk of loss of vehicle control,

vehicle rollover, personal injury and death.

• 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.
