At the very time you need special
alertness and driving skills, your
reflexes, perceptions, and judgment
can be affected by even a small
amount of alcohol. You could have a
serious or even fatal
if you drink and drive or ride with a
driver who has been drinking.
Off-roading can be great fun but has
some definite hazards. The greatest
of these is the terrain itself. When
off-road driving, traffic lanes are not
marked, curves are not banked, and
there are no road signs. Surfaces
can be slippery, rough, uphill,
or downhill.
Avoid sharp turns and abrupt
maneuvers. Failure to operate the
vehicle correctly off road could
result in loss of vehicle control or
vehicle rollover.
Off-roading involves some new
skills. That is why it is very
important that you read these
driving tips and suggestions to help
make off-road driving safer and
more enjoyable.

Before You Go Off-Roading
Have all necessary maintenance
and service work done.
Make sure there is enough fuel,
that fluid levels are where they
accident
should be, and that the spare
tire, if the vehicle has one, is
fully inflated.
Be sure to read all the
information about
four-wheel-drive vehicles
in this manual.
Make sure all underbody
shields, if the vehicle has them,
are properly attached.
Know the local laws that apply to
off-roading where you will be
driving or check with law
enforcement people in the area.
Be sure to get the necessary
permission if you will be on
private land.
Driving and Operating
If you think you will need some
more ground clearance at the front
of your vehicle, you can remove the
front fascia lower air dam. The air
dam is held in place by two bolts
and 10 snaps accessible from
underneath the front fascia.
To remove the air dam:
1. Remove the two outboard air
dam bolts.
2. With a flat blade tool, disengage
the snaps.
3. After the bolts are removed and
the snaps are disengaged, push
forward on the air dam until it
is free.
Notice: Operating your vehicle
for extended periods without the
front fascia lower air dam
installed can cause improper air
flow to the engine. Always be
sure to replace the front fascia air
dam when you are finished
off-road driving.
