Utility vehicles have a signifi-
cantly higher rollover rate than
other types of vehicles. To pre-
vent rollovers or loss of control:
•
Take corners at slower speeds
than you would with a passen-
ger vehicle.
•
Avoid sharp turns and abrupt
maneuvers.
•
Do not modify your vehicle in
any way that you would raise
the center of gravity.
•
Keep tires properly inflated.
•
Do not carry heavy cargo on
the roof.
WARNING
•
In a rollover crash, an unbelt-
ed person is significantly
more likely to die than a per-
son wearing a seat belt. Make
sure all passengers are wear-
ing their seat belts.
•
Specific design characteris-
tics (higher ground clearance,
nar-rower track, etc.) give this
vehicle a higher center of
gravity than ordinary vehicles.
