Driving your vehicle
1066
In a rollover crash, an unbelted per-
son is significantly more likely to die
than a person wearing a seat belt.
There are steps that a driver can
make to reduce the risk of a rollover.
If at all possible, avoid sharp turns or
abrupt manoeuvres, do not load your
roof rack with heavy cargo, and
never modify your vehicle in any way.
Rocking the vehicle
If it is necessary to rock the vehicle
to free it from snow, sand, or mud,
first turn the steering wheel right and
left to clear the area around your
front wheels. Then, shift back and
forth between 1st (First) and R
(Reverse) in vehicles equipped with
a manual transaxle or R (Reverse)
and any forward gear in vehicles
equipped with an automatic
transaxle/dual clutch transmission.
Do not race the engine, and spin the
wheels as little as possible. If you are
still stuck after a few tries, have the
vehicle pulled out by a tow vehicle to
avoid engine overheating and possi-
ble damage to the transaxle.
✽✽
NOTICE
The ESC system should be turned
OFF prior to rocking the vehicle.
CAUTION
Prolonged rocking may cause
engine over-heating, transaxle
damage or failure, and tyre dam-
age.
WARNING - Replacement
tyres
Always use the size and type of
tyres recommended in the tyre
section of the manual.
Installation of variant tyres can
affect the safety and perform-
ance of your vehicle.
WARNING
- Spinning tyres
Do not spin the wheels, espe-
cially at speeds more than 56
km/h (35 mph). Spinning the
wheels at high speeds when the
vehicle is stationary could
cause a tyre to overheat which
could result in tyre damage that
may injure bystanders.
