Driving your vehicle
Do not try to drive in deep stand -
ing water or mud since such con -
ditions can stall your engine and
clog your exhaust pipes. Do not
drive down steep hills since it
requires extreme skill to maintain
control of the vehicle.
OON058159NR
When you are driving up or down
hills drive as straight as possible.
Use extreme caution in going up
or down steep hills, since you may
flip your vehicle over depending
on the grade, terrain and water/
mud conditions.

All Wheel Drive (AWD) system
WARNING
Hills
Driving across the contour of steep
hills can be extremely dangerous.
This danger can come from slight
changes in the wheel angle which
can destabilize the vehicle or, even if
the vehicle is maintaining stability
under power, it can lose that stabil -
ity if the vehicle stops its forward
motion. Your vehicle may roll over
without warning and without time
for you to correct a mistake that
could cause serious injury or death.
You must learn how to corner in a
AWD vehicle. Do not rely on your
experience in conventional FWD
vehicles when cornering the vehi -
cle in AWD mode. For starters,
you must drive slower in AWD.
WARNING
All Wheel Drive (AWD)
Reduce speed when you turn cor -
ners. The centre of gravity of AWD
vehicles is higher than that of con -
ventional FWD vehicles, making
them more likely to roll over when
you turn corners too fast.
