ON-ROAD DRIVING TIPS

Utility vehicles have higher ground clearance and a

narrower track to make them capable of performing in a

wide variety of off-road applications. Specific design

characteristics give them a higher center of gravity than

ordinary vehicles.

An advantage of the higher ground clearance is a better

view of the road, allowing you to anticipate problems.

They are not designed for cornering at the same speeds as

conventional two-wheel drive vehicles any more than

low-slung sports cars are designed to perform satisfacto-

rily in off-road conditions. If at all possible, avoid sharp

turns or abrupt maneuvers. As with other vehicles of this

type, failure to operate this vehicle correctly may result in

loss of control or vehicle rollover.

NOTE: Prior to off-road driving with non-Summit mod-

els that are also equipped with an Off Road Package,

remove the lower fascia to prevent damage. The lower

fascia is attached to the lower part of the front fascia with

seven quarter turn fasteners and can be removed by

hand. The front license plate bracket must be removed

first if equipped.
