Driving and Operating 9-11.
The vehicle has more bounce
when driving over obstacles. .
More braking distance is
needed, especially on an
unpaved surface.
{ WARNINGWhen you are driving off-road,
bouncing and quick changes in
direction can easily throw you
out of position. This could cause
you to lose control and crash.
So, whether you are driving
on or off the road, you and
your passengers should wear
safety belts. Scanning the Terrain Off-road driving can take you over
many different kinds of terrain. Be
familiar with the terrain and its many
different features.
Surface Conditions: Off-roading
surfaces can be hard-packed dirt,
gravel, rocks, grass, sand, mud,
snow, or ice. Each of these
surfaces affects the vehicle's
steering, acceleration, and braking
in different ways. Depending on the
surface, slipping, sliding, wheel
spinning, delayed acceleration,
poor traction, and longer braking
distances can occur. Surface Obstacles: Unseen or
hidden obstacles can be hazardous.
A rock, log, hole, rut, or bump can
startle you if you are not prepared
for them. Often these obstacles are
hidden by grass, bushes, snow,
or even the rise and fall of the
terrain itself.
Some things to consider: .
Is the path ahead clear? .
Will the surface texture change
abruptly up ahead? .
Does the travel take you uphill or
downhill? .
Will you have to stop suddenly
or change direction quickly?
