and aggressive driving can
help make trips safer and
avoid the possibility of a crash.
Driving Environment
Be prepared for driving in
inclement weather, at night,
or during other times where
visibility or traction may be
limited, such as on curves,
slippery roads, or hilly terrain.
Unfamiliar surroundings can
also have hidden hazards.
Vehicle Design
Utility vehicles have a
significantly higher rollover
rate than other types of
vehicles. This is because they
have a higher ground
clearance and a narrower
track or shorter wheelbase
than passenger cars, which
makes them more capable for
off-road driving. While these
design characteristics provide
the driver with a better view
of the road, these vehicles do
have a higher center of gravity
than other types of vehicles.A utility vehicle does not
handle the same as a vehicle
with a lower center of gravity,
like a car, in similar situations.
Safe driver behavior and
understanding of the
environment can help avoid a
rollover crash in any type of
vehicle, including utility
vehicles.
Driving for Better
Fuel Economy
Driving habits can affect fuel
mileage. Here are some driving
tips to get the best fuel
economy possible.
.Set the climate controls to
the desired temperature
after the engine is started,
or turn them off when not
required.
.On AWD vehicles, use Tour
Mode when conditions
permit.
.Avoid fast starts and
accelerate smoothly.
.Brake gradually and avoid
abrupt stops.
.Avoid idling the engine for
long periods of time.
.When road and weather
conditions are appropriate,
use cruise control.
.Always follow posted speed
limits or drive more slowly
when conditions require.
.Keep vehicle tires properly
inflated.
.Combine several trips into a
single trip.
.Replace the vehicle's tires
with the same TPC Spec
number molded into the
tire's sidewall near the size.
.Follow recommended
scheduled maintenance.
Distracted Driving
Distraction comes in many
forms and can take your focus
from the task of driving.
Exercise good judgment and
do not let other activities
divert your attention away
from the road. Many local
