Drive cautiously to avoid vehicle

damage from concealed objects

such as rocks and stumps. You

should either know the terrain or

examine maps of the area before

driving. Map out your route before

driving in the area. To maintain

steering and braking control of

your vehicle, you must have all

four wheels on the ground and

they must be rolling, not sliding or

spinning.

Sand

When driving over sand, try to

keep all four wheels on the most

solid area of the trail. Avoid

reducing the tire pressure. Instead,

shift to a lower gear and drive

steadily through the terrain. Apply

the accelerator slowly and avoid

spinning the wheels.

If you must reduce the tire

pressure for whatever reason in

sand, make sure you re-inflate the

tires as soon as possible.

Avoid excessive speed because

vehicle momentum can work

against you and cause the vehicle

to become stuck to the point that

assistance may be required from

another vehicle. Remember, you

may be able to back out the way

you came if you proceed with

caution.

Mud

Be cautious of sudden changes in

vehicle speed or direction when

you are driving in mud. Even 4WD
