damaging your tires, wheels or vehicle. It is
the driver's sole responsibility to determine
the suitability of the route. Off-road routes
may be of varying conditions and their ap-
propriateness for use may be affected by va-
rious factors such as time of day, time of
year and immediate weather conditions that
cannot be judged or taken into considerati-
on by the COMAND system.
