L’utilisation négligente d’un véhicule hors route
Être préparé
Attacher la ceinture de sécurité.

•
ornières, aspérités du terrain et autres facteurs
réduisant la traction. Éviter les surfaces asphaltées.
Ne pas conduire sur le flanc des pentes.•
Ne permettre à personne de prendre place dans la caisse de chargement.•
Être prévoyant, être prêt
Si une roulade ou un capotage semble imminent, réduire le risque de blessures :
Agripper fermement le volant ou la poignée de maintien et se préparer à encaisser le choc.

AVERTISSEMENT
Charge maximale dans la caisse : 136 kg (300 lbs)
Charge maximale du véhicule : 327 kg (721 lbs)
Une charge ou une remorque peut nuire à la maniabilité et
à l’équilibre du véhicule.
Lors du transport d’une charge ou lors du remorquage :
Lire le Manuel du propriétaire avant de charger le véhicule,
de tirer ou de remorquer une charge.
– Ne pas dépasser la limite de charge nominale pour la caisse
de chargement, le timon et le véhicule.
– Réduire la vitesse et prévoir une distance de freinage accrue.
– Négocier les virages progressivement et lentement.

pourrait nuire soudainement à la maniabilité ou être projeté
vers l’avant et heurter un occupant.
– Répartir le poids de la charge de façon équilibrée et le plus
bas possible dans la caisse; une charge mal équilibrée augmente
le risque de capotage.
