& WARNING Risk of accident when the
center of gravity is too high
The vehicle may start to skid and rollover in
the event of sudden steering maneuvers
and/or when the vehicle's speed is not adap‐
ted to the road conditions.
#
Always adapt your speed and driving
style to the vehicle's driving character‐
istics and to the prevailing road and
weather conditions.
Utility vehicles have a significantly higher roll‐
over rate than other types of vehicles.
If this type of vehicle is not driven safely, an acci‐
dent can occur, the vehicle can roll over and
occupants can suffer serious or even fatal inju‐
ries.
In a rollover crash, an unbelted person is signifi‐
cantly more likely to die than a person wearing a
seat belt.
You and all vehicle occupants should always
wear your seat belts.

specialist workshop.
