On−pavement and off−road
driving tips
This vehicle will handle and maneuver differently from an
ordinary passenger car because it is designed for off−road
use also. It has a significantly higher rollover rate than
other types of vehicles. In addition, this vehicle has a
higher ground clearance and center of gravity than that of
an ordinary passenger car. This vehicle design feature
causes this type of vehicle to be more likely to rollover.
Failure to operate this vehicle correctly may result in loss
of control, accidents or vehicle rollover causing death or
serious injury. Be sure to read “Off−road vehicle precautions” in Section 2 and “Off−road driving precautions” in
Section 3.
