Page of 342
Your vehicle has been designed
primarily for use on pavement. But
its higher ground clearance and four-
wheel drive VTM-4 system allow you
to occasionally travel on unpaved
roads and surfaces. Your vehicle is
not designed for trailblazing,
mountain climbing, or other
challenging off-road activities.
If you decide to drive on unpaved
roads, you will find that it requires
somewhat different driving skills.
Your vehicle will also handle
somewhat differently than it does on
pavement. Be sure to pay extra
attention to the precautions and tips
in this section, and get acquainted
with your vehicle before leaving the
pavement.
