Your vehicle has been designed primarily for use on pavement, however, its higher ground clearance allows you to occasionally travel on unpaved roads. It is not designed for trail-blazing, or other challenging off-highway activities.

Pay attention to the precautions and tips in this section, and get acquainted with your vehicle before leaving the pavement.
