• Avoid sudden in braking or steering.
WARNING - ABS
Do not pump the brake pedal on a vehicle equipped with ABS.
• If stalled in snow, mud, or sand, use second gear. Accelerate slowly to avoid spinning the drive wheels.
• Use sand, rock salt, tire chains, or other non-slip material under the drive wheels to provide traction when stalled in ice, snow, or mud.
