WARNING
POTENTIAL HAZARD
Riding too fast while the vehicle is in
4WD-LOCK.
WHAT CAN HAPPEN
All wheels turn at the same speed when
the differential is locked, so it takes
more effort to turn the vehicle. The
amount of effort required is greater the
faster you go. You may lose control and
have an accident if you cannot make a
sharp enough turn for the speed you are
traveling.
HOW TO AVOID THE HAZARD
Always ride at a slow speed when the
vehicle is in 4WD-LOCK, and allow extra
time and distance for maneuvers.
