NOTES ON THE INFORMATION CONTAINED IN THIS
OWNER’S MANUAL
This owner’s manual contains descriptions and operating instruc-
tions for all systems, features and optional equipment that might
appear in any model of this vehicle built for any destination in
North America, including the continental United States, Canada
and Hawaii. Therefore, you may very well find information in this
manual that does not apply to your vehicle.
For descriptions specified for 4-wheel drive models, a
mark is
placed at the beginning of the applicable sections/items.
ON-PAVEMENT AND OFF-ROAD DRIVING
This vehicle will handle and maneuver differently from an
ordinary passenger car, because it has a higher center of
gravity for off-road use. As with other vehicles with features of
this type, failure to operate this vehicle correctly may result in
loss of control or an accident.
Be sure to read “On-Pavement and Off-Road driving precau-
tions” and “Avoiding collision and rollover” in the “Starting and
driving” section of this manual.
