conventional 2-wheel drive vehicles any more than low-

slung sports cars are designed to perform satisfactorily in

off-road conditions. If at all possible, avoid sharp turns or

abrupt maneuvers. As with other vehicles of this type,

failure to operate this vehicle correctly may result in loss

of control or vehicle rollover.

OFF-ROAD DRIVING TIPS

NOTE: Prior to off-road driving, remove the front air

dam to prevent damage. The front air dam is attached to

the lower front fascia with quarter turn fasteners, and can

be removed by hand.

When To Use 4WD LOW Range — If Equipped

When off-road driving, shift to 4WD LOW for additional

traction. This range should be limited to extreme situa-

tions such as deep snow, mud, or sand where additional

low speed pulling power is needed. Vehicle speeds in

excess of 25 mph (40 km/h) should be avoided when in

4WD LOW range.

Driving Through Water

Although your vehicle is capable of driving through

water, there are a number of precautions that must be

considered before entering the water:

CAUTION!

When driving through water, do not exceed 5 mph (8

km/h). Always check water depth before entering as

a precaution, and check all fluids afterward. Driving

through water may cause damage that may not be

covered by the new vehicle limited warranty.

Driving through water more than a few inches deep will

require extra caution to ensure safety and prevent dam-

age to your vehicle. If you must drive through water, try

to determine the depth and the bottom condition (and

location of any obstacles) prior to entering. Proceed with
