Reducing the risk of rollover
Your multi-purpose passenger vehicle is
defined as a Sports Utility Vehicle (SUV).
Some SUVs have higher ground clearance
and a narrower track to make them
capable of performing in a wide variety of
off-road applications. The specific design
characteristics can give them a higher
center of gravity than ordinary passenger
vehicles making them more likely to roll
over if you make abrupt turns. SUVs have
a significantly higher rollover rate than
other types of vehicles. Always make sure
you and your passengers wear your seat
belts properly and securely. In a rollover
crash, an unbelted person is significantly
more likely to be seriously injured or killed
than a person wearing a seat belt.
There are steps that a driver can make to
reduce the risk of a rollover. If at all
possible, avoid sharp turns or abrupt
maneuvers, do not load your vehicle with
heavy cargo on the roof, and never
modify your vehicle in any way.
WARNING
Some Sports Utility Vehicles (SUVs) can
have a significantly higher rollover rate
than other types of vehicles. To prevent
rollovers or loss of control:
• Take corners at slower speeds than you
would with a passenger 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
Fasten your seat belt properly. In a
rollover crash, an unbelted person is
significantly more likely to be seriously
injured or killed than a person wearing a
seat belt.
