KIA Sorento 2006 - Manual (Page 125)

• You must learn how to corner in a
4WD vehicle as soon as possible.
Do not rely on your experience in
conventional 2WD vehicles in
choosing a safe cornering speed.
You must drive more slowly.
• Drive off-road carefully because
your vehicle may be damaged by
rocks or roots of trees. Become
familiar with the off-road conditions
you are going to drive before you
start.
• Always hold the steering wheel
firmly when you are driving off-
road.
• Make sure all passengers are
wearing seat belts.
• If you need to drive in water, stop
your vehicle, set your transfer lever
to “4LO’’ or “LOW” and drive at less
than 5 mph (8 km/h).

WARNING - Turning
Corners
Reduce speed when you turn
corners. The center of gravity of
4WD vehicles is raised higher
than that of conventional 2WD
vehicles, making them more
likely to roll over when you turn
corners too fast.
WARNING
Do not grab inside of the steer-
ing wheel when you are driving
off-road. Your arm may be hurt
by a sudden steering maneuver
or from steering wheel rebound
due to impact with objects on
the ground. You could lose con-
trol of the steering wheel.
WARNING
If you are driving in heavy wind,
the vehicle’s higher center of
gravity decreases your steering
control. Drive more slowly than
you would in calm conditions.
