Crossing obstacles
208
!
Obstacles can damage the vehicle un-
dercarriage or suspension compo-
nents. If possible use the assistance of
a second person.
After off-road driving or crossing obsta-
cles, inspect vehicle for any damage,
especially vehicle undercarriage and
suspension components. Failure to do
so can adversely affect the vehicle's fu-
ture performance, including increased
chance of an accident.
Check the vehicle clearance before
crossing obstacles.
Comply with the warnings
( page 203) and rules for off-road
driving ( page 204).
Select gear range 1 on the automatic
transmission ( page 137).
Cross obstacles (e.g. tree stumps or
big rocks) very slowly by aiming one of
the front wheels at the center of the ob-
stacle, and repeat same with the rear
wheel.
!
Special attention is needed when you
cross obstacles on a steep incline.
The vehicle could slide sideways as a
result of its possible slanted position.
