•
Higher - to allow higher load carrying
capacity and to allow it to travel over
rough terrain without getting hung up
or damaging underbody components.
• Shorter - to give it the capability to
approach inclines and drive over the
crest of a hill without getting hung up
or damaging underbody components.
All other things held equal, a shorter
wheelbase may make your vehicle
quicker to respond to steering inputs
than a vehicle with a longer wheelbase.
• Narrower - to provide greater
maneuverability in tight spaces,
particularly in off-road use. As a result of the above dimensional
differences, sport-utility vehicles, vans and
trucks often will have a higher center of
gravity and a greater difference in center
of gravity between the loaded and
unloaded condition.
These differences that make your vehicle
so versatile also make it handle differently
than an ordinary passenger car. TIRE SEALANT AND INFLATOR
KIT WARNING: Do not use the inflator
kit on run flat tires. This could cause loss
of vehicle control. WARNING: Depending on the type
and extent of tire damage, some tires
can only be partially sealed or not sealed
at all. Loss of tire pressure can affect
vehicle handling, leading to loss of
vehicle control. WARNING:
Do not use the kit on a
previously damaged tire, for example
when it has been driven under inflated.
This could cause loss of vehicle control,
personal injury or death.
Note: Motorhome owners may have to
follow separate instructions issued with the
temporary mobility kit.
If your vehicle does not have a spare wheel
it has a tire sealant and inflator kit. The kit
is in the right-hand side stepwell. Only use
the kit supplied with your vehicle.
Note: : The kit can only temporarily repair
one tire puncture with a maximum puncture
size of up to 0.24 in (6 mm).
