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.

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.

REVERSE SENSING SYSTEM (IF EQUIPPED)

The Reverse Sensing System (RSS) sounds a tone to warn the driver of

obstacles near the rear bumper when the R (Reverse) is selected and the

vehicle is moving at speeds less than 3 mph (5 km/h). The system is not

effective at speeds above 3 mph (5 km/h) and may not detect certain

angular or moving objects.

WARNING: To help avoid personal injury, please read and

understand the limitations of the reverse sensing system as

contained in this section. Reverse sensing is only an aid for some

(generally large and fixed) objects when moving in reverse on a flat

surface at “parking speeds”. Inclement weather may also affect the

function of the RSS; this may include reduced performance or a false

activation.
