Off-Road
Driving
with
Your
Four-
Wheel Drive Vehicle
This off-road guide
is
for vehicles that have four-wheel drive.
Also, see “Anti-lock Brakes”
in
the Index.
If your vehicle doesn’t have four-wheel drive, you shouldn’t drive off-road

“Off-roading” means you’ve left the great North American road system
behind. Traffic lanes aren’t marked. Curves aren’t banked. There are no
road signs. Surfaces can be slippery, rough, uphill or downhill. In short,

important that you read this guide. You’ll find many driving tips and
suggestions. These will help make your off-road driving safer and more
enjoyable.
