Page 69 of 1987 US Vanagon owners manual (Syncro section):


"The Vanagon/Transporter is not an off-road or all-terrain vehicle. Use
of this or any other vehicle under off-road conditions requires special
skills and knowledge. The off-road operation of this or any other
vehicle can lead to personal injury".


Many other such 'warnings' are repeated throughout the manual.
