result
in loss of control or vehicle
rollover.
Off-Road Driving with
Your Geo 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 are no road signs. Surfwes
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-roacting
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.
Loading Your Vehicle for Off-Road
Driving
There are some important things to
remember
about how to load your
vehicle. The heavies1 things should
be on the
load floor and forward of your rear
axle. Put heavier items
as far forward
as you can.
e Be sure the load is secured properly,
so driving on the off-road terrain
doesn’t
toss things around.
You’ll find other important information in
this manual. See “Vehicle Loading” and
”Tires”
in the Index.

The Certificatioflire label which is on the driver’s door shows the correct inflation
pressures for your tires, when they’re cold. ‘Told” means your vehicle has been
sitting for at least three hours or driven no more than
a mile.

i Too much flexing
0 Too much heat
0 Tire overloading
0 Bad wear
0 Bad handling
0 Bad fuel economy.

0 Unusual wear
0 Bad handling
0 Rough ride
0 Needless damage from road hazards.

xessure. Simply looking at the tires
will not tell
you the pressure,
:specially if you have radial tires
