Utility vehicle precautions
●Specific design characteristics give it a higher center of gravity than ordinary
passenger cars. This vehicle design feat ure causes this type of vehicle to be
more likely to rollover. Utility vehicles have a significantly higher rollover rate
than other types of vehicles.
●It is not designed for cornering at the same speeds as ordinary passenger cars
any more than low-slung sports cars designed to perform satisfactorily under
off-road conditions. Therefore, shar p turns at excessive speeds may cause
rollover.
This vehicle belongs to the utility vehicl e class, which has higher ground clear-
ance and narrower tread in relation to the height of its center of gravity.

■Utility vehicle precautions
Always observe the following precautions to minimize the risk of death or serious
injury or damage to your vehicle:
●In a rollover crash, an unbelted person is si gnificantly more likely to die than a person
wearing a seat belt. Therefore, the driver and all passengers should always fasten
their seat belts.
●Avoid sharp turns or abrupt maneuvers, if at all possible.
Failure to operate this vehicle correctly may re sult in loss of control or vehicle rollover
causing death or serious injury.
●Loading cargo on the roof luggage carrier (i f equipped) will make the center of the
vehicle gravity higher. Avoid high speeds, su dden starts, sharp turns, sudden braking
or abrupt maneuvers, otherwise it may result in loss of control or vehicle rollover due
to failure to operate this vehicle correctly.
●Always slow down in gusty crosswinds. Be cause of its profile and higher center of
gravity, your vehicle is more sensitive to side winds than an ordinary passenger car.
Slowing down will allow you to have better control.
●Do not drive horizontally across steep slopes . Driving straight up or straight down is
preferred. Your vehicle (or any similar off-road vehicle) can tip over sideways much
more easily than forward or backward.
