WARNING Risk of accident due to a high
center of gravity
As a result of the high center of gravity the
vehicle can skid or rollover in the event of
abrupt steering movements and/or inappro‐
priate speed.
#
Adapt the speed and the driving style to
the driving characteristics of the vehicle
as well as the prevailing road and
weather conditions.
Utility vehicles have a significantly higher rollover
rate than other types of vehicles.
If this vehicle is not operated in a safe manner it
could result in an accident, rollover as well as to
severe or fatal injuries.
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
a seat belt.
