CAUTION

Off-road vehicle precautions

■
Always observe the following precautions to minimize the risk of death, serious injury
or damage to your vehicle:
In a rollover crash, an unbelted person is significantly more likely to die than a person
●
wearing a seat belt. Therefore, the driver and all passengers should fasten their seat
belts whenever the vehicle is moving.
Avoid sharp turns or abrupt maneuvers, if at all possible.
●
Failure to operate this vehicle correctly may result in loss of control or vehicle rollover
causing death or serious injury.
Loading cargo on the roof luggage carrier will make the center of the vehicle gravity
●
higher. Avoid high speeds, sudden starts, sharp turns, sudden braking or abrupt
maneuvers, otherwise it may result in loss of control or vehicle rollover due to failure
to operate this vehicle correctly.
Always slow down in gusty crosswinds. Because of its profile and higher center of
●
gravity, your vehicle is more sensitive to side winds than an ordinary passenger car.
Slowing down will allow you to have better control.
Do not drive horizontally across steep slopes. Driving straight up or straight down is
●
preferred. Your vehicle (or any similar off-road vehicle) can tip over sideways much
more easily than forward or backward.
