WARNING
Never spin a wheel that is off the ground:

result of the vehicle being stuck or in a
ditch is dangerous. The drive assembly
could be seriously damaged which could
lead to an accident or could even lead to
overheating, oil leakage, and a fire.
▼ 4WD Driving
WARNING
Avoid sharp turns, excessive speed and
abrupt manoeuvres when driving this
vehicle:
Sharp turns, excessive speed and abrupt
manoeuvring of this vehicle is dangerous
as it could result in the increased risk of loss
of vehicle control, vehicle roll-over,
personal injury or death.
This vehicle has a higher centre of gravity.
Vehicles with a higher centre of gravity
such as utility and 4WD vehicles handle
differently than vehicles with a lower centre
of gravity.

*
Utility and 4WD vehicles are not designed
for cornering at high speeds any more than
low profile sports cars are designed to
perform satisfactorily under off-road
conditions. In addition, utility vehicles have
a significantly higher rollover rate than
other types of vehicles.
Drive carefully when the vehicle is loaded
by lowering vehicle speed and applying the
brakes earlier:
Abrupt manoeuvring and sudden braking
when driving a loaded vehicle is dangerous
as the driving behaviour of a vehicle with a
high centre of gravity is different when it is
loaded compared to when it is not, and
could result in the loss of vehicle control
and an accident.

The condition of the tyres plays a large
role in the performance of the vehicle.
Moreover, to prevent adverse effects to the
drive assembly, please note the following:
