Break-In Period - Toyota Land Cruiser 1999 Owner's Manual

CAUTION
Always observe the following precau-
tions to minimize the risk of serious
personal injury or damage to your ve-
hicle:
"
Avoid sharp turns or abrupt maneu-
vers, if at all possible. As with oth-
er vehicles of this type, failure to
operate this vehicle correctly may
result in loss of control or vehicle
rollover.
"
Avoid loading any items on the roof
that will make the center of gravity
even higher.
"
Always slow down in gusty cross-
winds. Because of its high center of
gravity, your vehicle is more sensi-
tive to side winds than an ordinary
passenger car. Slowing down will
allow you to have much better con-
trol.
"
Do not drive horizontally across
steep slopes. Driving straight up or
straight down is preferred. Your ve-
hicle (or any similar off- road ve-
hicle) can tip over sideways much
more easily than forward or back-
ward.

"
When driving off- road or in rugged
terrain, do not drive at excessive
speeds, jump, strike objects, etc.
This may cause loss of control or
vehicle rollover. You are also risk-
ing expensive damage to your ve-
hicle's suspension and chassis.
