This vehicle will handle and maneuver
differently from an ordinary passenger
car because it has a higher center of
gravity. As with other vehicles with
features of this type, failure to operate
this vehicle correctly may result in loss
of control or an accident. Be sure to

and “Driving safety precautions” in the

manual.

the use of any aftermarket OBD
plug-in devices, unless specifically
