------ Note, driving skills:
* 1; over the river Mizutani: first, view the case of river water level, choose a small rolling waves of the Department, if the vehicle in front and to our fellow car, observe the water depth away from the river banks and road tracks. Atmospheric path in case of cart tracks, the best choice between the two locations, so as not to uplift the underwater site, blocking the chassis.
* 2; over flood-affected area: Installation wade pipe and air intake hose (converted from spare parts) transfer large idle, remove the fan belt and generator plugs, using low-speed four-wheel drive across the river way. Note that the high-temperature aluminum cylinder block, be sure to cool down before it can into the water, so as not to hold shaft.
Case of flooding above the road surface or corner, scheduled to be proven roadbed width of the water with tree branches or location reference point marking hazardous areas, and pay attention to other locations on both sides of drains. ---- Reminded: Ali region's rivers: sooner or later, up more than water, and note in front of dark clouds in location, and anti-water rivers, soaring.
* 3; off landslides areas: attention to the vehicle in front of the depth of pressure and elevated position, such as the ride height enough, with four-wheel drive mode high-speed 1,2 block paved, and use his hands back and forth Kombat direction, with the front wheels poke mud method before, if unfortunate enough to be stuck with four-wheel drive low-speed reverse gear out, clear the road a few obstacles.

And the distance from the car, inflow view of the investigation, acceleration or deceleration while before, and as far as possible away from the truck behind the Rolling Stones regional trip.
* 5; over swamps and soft ground: Be sure to look at whether the foot out of the ground water, flooding out is not. Trapped car idling too long not to make the wheels, aluminum grille, or out of the carpet covered in case of soft subgrade, the four-wheel drive mode with the low-speed high 2.3 blocked the way to accelerate the adoption.
* 6; muddy roads and snow and ice road: If this car has added gas device, may choose to reduce pressure by half, driving through, the choice of the vehicle in front road tracks, turn when the steady speed downshifts in advance, using edge back to the way side switch turns .

Curve also used the event to switch sides back to the way while turning.
* 7; in jumping sand roads and gravel road: taking control of speed, according to the frequency hopping, using acceleration and deceleration control of speed, pay attention to the body of horizontal sand road swing. Gravel road, we must control the speed of 60 kilometers an hour less, such as premature tire wear, and easy to tie off tire steel wire, the proposed tire with nylon line.
* 8; in the desert grassland: Try not to burn the midnight oil, and easy to get lost.
