Driving Guidelines (Utility Models)
This multipurpose passenger vehicle is defined as a utility vehicle in
Consumer Information Regulations issued by the National Highway \
Traffic
Safety Administration (NHTSA) of the United States Department of
Transportation. Utility vehicles have higher ground clearance and\
a narrower
track to make them capable
of performing in a wide variety of off-road
applications. Specific design characteristics give them a higher center of
gravity than ordinary cars. An advantage of the higher ground clearance is a
better view
of the road allowing you to anticipate problems. They are not
designed for cornering at the same speeds as conventional 2-whe\
el drive
vehicles any more than low-slung sports cars are designed to p\
erform
satisfactorily under 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.
OffmRoad Driving with Your Four-Wheel
Drive Vehicle
This off-road guide is for vehicles that have four-wheel drive. (Also, see
“Anti-lock Brakes” in the Index.)
If your vehicle doesn’t have four-wheel drive,
you shouldn’t drive off-road unless you’re on
a level, solid surface.
Off-road driving can be great fun. But it does have some definite hazards.
The greatest of these is the terrain itself.
“Off-roading” means you’ve left the great North American road system behind.
Traffic lanes aren’t marked. Curves aren’t banked. There a\
re no road signs.
Surfaces can be slippery, rough, uphill
or downhill. In short, you’ve gone right
back to nature.
Off-road driving involves some new skills. And that’s why it’s very important
that you read this guide. You’ll find many driving tips and suggestions. These
will help make your off-road driving safer and more enjoyable.
Before You Go Off-Roading
There are some things to do before you go out. For example, be sure to
have all necessary maintenance and service work done. Be sure you read \
all
the information about your four-wheel drive vehicle in this manual.
Is there
enough fuel?
Is the spare tire fully inflated? Are the fluid levels up where
they should be? What are the local laws that apply to off-roading where you’ll
be driving?
If you don’t know, you should check with law enforcement people
in the area. Will you be on someone’s private land?
If so, be sure to get the
necessary permission.

“Off Road Driving With Your Four Wheel Drive Vehicle.”
Selecting The Proper Maintenance Services
To find the proper maintenance schedule for your vehicle, you must know\
two
things. What engine your vehicle has, and how you use your ve\
hicle. Your
engine type will tell you which chart to use, and your driving conditions will
tell you which schedule to use. The charts are found later in this section.
Selecting the Proper Maintenance Chart
Your engine type (Gasoline or Diesel) and its emissions classification (L\
ight
Duty
or Heavy Duty Emissions) will tell you which maintenance chart to use.
Find your Vehicle Identification Number (VIN), and
look at the eighth character
to see what your engine code is. Then use the following Engine Emissions
Classifications table
to find your emissions classification.
Your VIN is on the plate on the top left corner of your instrument panel,
the Certification Label and on the Service Parts Identification Label. See
“Vehicle Identification Number” in the Index.

(GVWR) is. See “Loading Your Vehicle” in the Index.
