WARNING
Engine off during motion
Never turn the engine off to coast down
hills or anytime the vehicle is in motion.
The power steering and power brakes
will not function properly without the
engine running. Instead, keep the engine
on and downshift to an appropriate gear
for engine braking effect. In addition,
turning off the ignition whilst driving
could engage the steering wheel lock
resulting in loss of vehicle steering which
could cause serious injury or death.
Special driving conditions
If driving conditions deteriorate due to
poor weather or road conditions, you
should pay even more attention than
usual to your driving.
Hazardous driving conditions
When hazardous driving conditions are
encountered such as water, snow, ice,
mud, sand, or similar hazards, follow
these suggestions:
僅 Drive cautiously and allow extra dis -
tance for braking.
僅 Avoid sudden braking or steering.
僅 When braking with non-ABS brakes
pump the brake pedal with a light up-
and-down motion until the vehicle is
stopped.
僅 Do not pump the brake pedal on a
vehicle equipped with ABS.
僅 If stalled in snow, mud, or sand, use
the second gear. Accelerate slowly to
avoid spinning the drive wheels.
僅 Use sand, rock salt, or other nonslip
material under the drive wheels to
provide traction when stalled in ice,
snow, or mud.
Reducing the risk of a rollover
This multi-purpose passenger vehicle is
defined as a Sports Utility Vehicle (SUV).
SUV's have higher ground clearance and
a narrower track to make them capable
of performing in a wide variety of road
applications. Specific design characteris -
tics give them a higher centre of gravity
than ordinary vehicles. An advantage of
the higher ground clearance is a better
view of the road, which allows you to
anticipate problems. They are not
designed for cornering at the same
speeds as conventional passenger vehi
