●When multiple vehicles are approaching
with only a small gap between each vehi-
cle
●When a vehicle is approaching at high
speed
●When equipment that may obstruct a

strip, etc.), bicycle carrier, or snow plow
●When backing up on a slope with a sharp
change in grade
●When backing out of a sharp anglepark-
ing spot
●When towing a trailer
●When there is a significant difference in
height between your vehicle and the

●If the suspension has been modified or
tires of a size other than specified are installed
●If the front of the vehicle is raised or low-
ered due to the carried load

Regulations regarding the use of tire
chains vary depending on location and
type of road. Always check local regu-
lations before installing chains.
■Tire chain installation
Observe the following precautions when
installing and removing chains:
●Install and remove tire chains in a safe
location.
●Install tire chains on the front tires only.
Do not install tire chains on the rear tires.
●Install tire chains on fr ont tires as tightly as
possible. Retighten chains after driving
1/4 1/2 mile (0.5 1.0 km).
●Install tire chains following the instruc-
tions provided with the tire chains.
To enable the windshield wipers to be
lifted when heavy snow or icy condi-
tions are expected, change the rest
position of the windshield wipers from
the retracted position below the hood
to the service position using the wiper
lever. ( P.206) 
Specific design characteristics give
it a higher center of gravity than
ordinary passenger cars. This vehi-
cle design feature causes this type
of vehicle to be more likely to
rollover. And, utility vehicles have a
significantly higher rollover rate
than other types of vehicles.
 An advantage of th e higher ground
clearance is a better view of the
road allowing you to anticipate
problems.
 It is not designed for cornering at
the same speeds as ordinary pas-
senger cars any more than
low-slung sports cars are designed
to perform satisfactorily under
off-road conditions. Therefore,
sharp turns at excessive speeds may
cause the vehicle to rollover.

open the door after waiting for the
rising water to enter the vehicle, and
exit the vehicle. When the outside
water level exceeds half the height
of the door, the door cannot be
opened from the inside due to water
pressure.
