Trailer TowingWe do not recommend using this vehicle for trailer
towing.
Driving Tips5-12Install the chains on the front tires as tightly as
possible. The use of chains on the rear tires is not
recommended. Retighten the chains after driving
0.5-1.0 km (1/4-1/2 mile).Driving in Flooded AreasAvoid driving through flooded areas unless you are
sure the water is no higher than the bottom of the
wheel rims. Drive through any water slowly. Allow
adequate stopping distance because brake performance
may be affected.
After driving through water, dry the brakes by gently
applying them several times while the vehicle is
moving slowly.
