Driving your vehicle

NOTICE

The ESC system should be turned OFF
prior to rocking the vehicle.

Smooth cornering

Avoid braking or gear changing in cor-
ners, especially when roads are wet.
Ideally, corners should always be taken
under gentle acceleration. If you follow
these suggestions, tire wear will be held
to a minimum.

Driving at night

Because night driving presents more
hazards than driving in the daylight, here
are some important tips to remember:
• Slow down and keep more distance

between you and other vehicles, as it
may be more difficult to see at night,
especially in areas where there may
not be any street lights.

WARNING

- Spinning tires

Do not spin the wheels, especially
at speeds more than 35 mph (56
km/h). Spinning the wheels at high
speeds when the vehicle is station-
ary could cause a tire to overheat
which could result in tire damage
that may injure bystanders.

WARNING

If your vehicle becomes stuck in
snow, mud, sand, etc., then you
may attempt to rock the vehicle free
by moving it forward and backward.
Do not attempt this procedure if
people or objects are anywhere
near the vehicle. During the rocking
operation the vehicle may suddenly
move forward or backward as it
becomes unstuck, causing injury
or damage to nearby people or
objects.
