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 ve-
hicle has a higher ground clearance and center of gravi-
ty 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 rol-
lover causing death or serious injury. Be sure to read
ªOff±road vehicle precautionsº in Section 2 and ªOff±
road driving precautionsº in Section 3.
