GENERAL INFORMATION
Notice to Utility Vehicle, Van and Truck Owners
WARNING:
Utility vehicles have a significantly higher rollover
rate than other types of vehicles. To reduce the risk of serious
injury or death from a rollover or other crash you must:
•
Avoid sharp turns and abrupt maneuvers;
•
Drive at safe speeds for the conditions;
•
Keep tires properly inflated;
•
Never overload or improperly load your vehicle; and
•
Make sure every passenger is properly restrained.
WARNING:
In a rollover crash, an unbelted person is
significantly more likely to die than a person wearing a seat belt.
All occupants must wear seat belts. Children and infants must use
appropriate restraints to minimize the risk of injury or ejection.
Utility vehicles, vans and trucks handle
differently than passenger cars in the
various driving conditions that are
encountered on streets, highways and
off-road. Utility vehicles, vans and
trucks are not designed for cornering
at speeds as high as passenger cars
any more than low-slung sports cars
are designed to perform satisfactorily
under off-road conditions.
