To reduce the risk of SERIOUS INJURY or DEATH:

• Avoid high speeds when cornering or turning.

• Do not make quick steering wheel movements, such as sharp lane changes or fast, sharp turns.

• The risk of a rollover is greatly increased if you lose control of your vehicle at highway speeds.

• Loss of control often occurs if two or more wheels drop off the roadway and the driver over steers to reenter the roadway.

• In the event your vehicle leaves the roadway, do not steer sharply. Instead, slow down before pulling back into the travel lanes.

• Do not drive in water if the level is higher than the bottom of the vehicle.

• Check your brake condition once you are out of mud or water. Depress the brake pedal several times as you move slowly until you feel normal braking return.

• Shorten your scheduled maintenance interval if you drive in off-road conditions such as sand, mud or water (see “Maintenance Under Severe Usage Conditions” section in chapter 9).

• Always wash your vehicle thoroughly after off road use, especially the bottom of the vehicle.

• Be sure to equip all four tires with the correct size and type.

• Make sure that a full time AWD vehicle is towed by a flat bed tow truck.
