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 applica-
tions. 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 sat-
isfactorily in off-road conditions. If at all pos-
sible, 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.

OFF-ROAD DRIVING TIPS

NOTE:
Prior to off-road driving with non-Summit
models that are also equipped with an Off
Road Package, remove the lower fascia to
prevent damage. The lower fascia is at-
tached 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.
