quirements of the Canadian Interference−Causing Equip-

On−pavement and off−road

driving tips

This vehicle belongs to the utility vehicle class. Utility

vehicles have a significantly higher rollover rate than

other types of vehicles. This vehicle will handle and

maneuver differently from an ordinary passenger car be-

cause it is designed for off−road use also. In addition,

this vehicle has a higher ground clearance and center of

gravity 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 rollover causing death or serious injury. Be sure

to read “Off−road vehicle precautions” on page 282 in

Section 2 and “Off−road driving precautions” on page

301 in Section 3.
