CAUTION
■
When exiting the vehicle while stopped sideways on an incline
Avoid exiting the vehicle while stopped on an incline. If you need to exit, use
the uphill-facing door. If you try to exit using the downhill-facing door, the
chances of the vehicle rolling over will increase. As a result, the vehicle may
roll onto you and could result in death or serious injury.
■
After using the rear differential lock
The rear differential lock is for use in freeing the vehicle in emergency situa-
tions. After freeing the vehicle, make sure that you unlock the rear differen-
tial.
NOTICE
■
Precaution when freeing the vehicle
●
If the steering wheel is overused or if the wheels are allowed to spin more
than necessary when freeing the vehicle, the tires could become further
embedded and the situation could worsen.
●
If you are unable to free the vehicle under your own power, have the vehi-
cle freed by a rescue vehicle.
■
To prevent damage to the clutch
On vehicles with a manual transmission, do not use half engagement fre-
quently.
