Driving your vehicle
WARNING
When driving uphill or downhill,
always shift to D (Drive) for driv -
ing forward or shift to R (Reverse)
for driving backwards, and check
the gear position indicated on the
cluster before driving.
Driving in the opposite direction of
the selected gear can lead to a
dangerous situation by shutting
off the engine and affecting the
braking performance.
Always buckle-up! In a collision, an
unbelted occupant is significantly
more likely to be seriously injured
or killed than a properly belted
occupant.
Avoid high speeds when cornering
or turning.
Do not make quick steering wheel
movements, such as sharp lane
changes or fast, sharp turns.
The risk of rollover is greatly
increased if you lose control of
your vehicle at highway speeds.
Loss of control often occurs if two
or more wheels drop off the road -
way and the driver oversteers to
reenter the roadway.
In the event your vehicle leaves
the roadway, do not steer
sharply. Instead, slow down
before pulling back into the travel
lanes.
Never exceed posted speed limits.

WARNING
If your vehicle becomes stuck in
snow, mud, sand, etc., then you may
attempt to rock the vehicle free by
moving it forward and backward. Do
not attempt this procedure if people
or objects are anywhere near the
vehicle. During the rocking operation
the vehicle may suddenly move for -
ward of backward as it becomes
unstuck, causing injury or damage
to nearby people or objects.
