IMPORTANT INFORMATION
Four-wheel drive does not make it possible to drive a vehicle absolutely everywhere.
Exercise caution when using the accelerator pedal, steering wheel and brake pedal.
Concentrate on driving safely, paying attention to the condition and slope angle of the
road surface.
On a snow-covered or icy road, drive at a
constant speed and keep your speed low
enough to stay completely in control.
When applying the brakes, lightly push
the pedal several times rather than giving
it one hard push. A single hard push of
the pedal would be dangerous because it
could cause the vehicle to slip, making the
steering wheel useless.

When driving in sand or mud, go as slowly
as possible, avoiding hard braking, sudden
acceleration and sharp turns of the steering
wheel.
It is difficult to ascertain the condition of the
road surface when you are driving in sand
or mud, so there is a risk of getting stuck.
When necessary, get out of the vehicle and
check the condition of the road surface.
