If your vehicle goes off the edge of the pavement

• If your vehicle goes off the edge of the pavement, slow down, but

avoid severe brake application, ease the vehicle back onto the

pavement only after reducing your speed. Do not turn the steering

wheel too sharply while returning to the road surface.

• It may be safer to stay on the apron or shoulder of the road and slow

down gradually before returning to the pavement. You may lose

control if you do not slow down or if you turn the steering wheel too

sharply or abruptly.

• It often may be less risky to strike small objects, such as highway

reflectors, with minor damage to your vehicle rather than attempt a

sudden return to the pavement which could cause the vehicle to slide

sideways out of control or roll over. Remember, your safety and the

safety of others should be your primary concern.

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.

If your vehicle gets stuck

If your vehicle gets stuck in mud or snow it may be rocked out by

shifting between forward and reverse gears, stopping between shifts, in a

steady pattern. Press lightly on the accelerator in each gear.

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

temperature or damage to the transmission may occur.

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.

Do not spin the wheels at over 35 mph (56 km/h). The tires may

fail and injure a passenger or bystander.
