Off-Road Precautions
For your safety and the safety of
your passengers, please follow
these precautions:
Don't Modify Your Vehicle
We urge you not to install
aftermarket "lift kits," oversize
wheels and tires, or alter your
vehicle in any other way that
would change the vehicle' s
suspension or ride height. Such
modifications can make handling
difficult and unpredictable, and
they could cause you to lose
control, roll over and be seriously
hurt or killed.
Wear Seat Belts
Seat belts are just as important
off-road as on pavement. Seat
belts can hold you in position on
rough and bumpy trails and when
driving on hills. If you don't wear
your seat belt, you could bounce
around and strike the interior of
the vehicle, or even lose control
and crash. Whenever you drive,
make sure you and your
passengers always wear seat belts.
If children or infants are along for
the ride, see that they are properly
secured, and never let a passenger
ride in the cargo compartment. In
a rollover crash, an unbelted
person is more likely to die than a
person wearing a seat belt.
Drive Smart
Off-road surfaces and conditions
can change quickly and
unexpectedly. It takes time to
learn how to read the terrain and
develop off-road driving skills. So
always use good judgment. Don't
drive faster than conditions
warrant, and if you ever feel
uncomfortabl e about a given
situation, don't do it.
