Driving your vehicle
WARNING
• Always buckle up! In a colli-
sion, an unbelted occupant is
more likely to be seriously
injured or killed than a proper-
ly belted occupant.
• Avoid high speeds when cor-
nering or turning.
• Do not make quick wheel
steering, such as sharp lane
changes or fast, sharp turns.
• The risk of rollover is greatly
increased when you lose con-
trol of your vehicle at a high
speed.
• Loss of control often occurs,
when two or more wheels are
swerved out of the roadway
and are overly steered to
reenter the roadway.
• In the event your vehicle is
swerved out of the roadway,
do not make a sharp steering.
Instead, slow down the vehi-
cle before reentering into the
lanes.
• Never exceed posted speed
limits.

WARNING
When your vehicle is stuck in
snow, mud, sand and others,
you may rock the vehicle by
moving it forward and back-
wards. Do not attempt this pro-
cedure when there are people
or objects near the vehicle.
During the rocking operation,
the vehicle may suddenly move
forwards or backwards as it
becomes
unstuck,
injury or damage to nearby peo-
ple or objects.
Moving up a steep grade from a
standing start
To drive up on a steep slope,
depress the brake pedal, move the
shift gear to D (Drive), and release
the parking brake. Gradually depress
the accelerator while releasing the
service brakes.
When accelerating on a steep
slope, the vehicle may have a ten-
dency to slide backwards. Shifting
to the 2nd gear (Second Gear) will
help prevent the vehicle from slid-
ing backwards.
