Avoid Collisions - BRP can-am COMMANDER 2017 Series Operator's Manual

AVOID ACCIDENTS
– Never grab the cage while riding.
Hands can be crushed between the
cage and the ground in a rollover.
Keep hands on the steering wheel
or handholds.
– Never try to stop a rollover using
your arms or legs. If you think that
the vehicle may tip or roll, the driver
should keep both hands on the
steering wheel and the left foot
firmly planted on the footrest. The
passenger should keep both hands
on the handholds and both feet
firmly planted on the floor.

Avoid Collisions

This vehicle can reach high speeds. At
higher speeds, there is an increased
risk of losing control, particularly in
challenging off-road conditions, and
the risk of injury in a collision is greater.
Never operate at excessive speeds.
Always go at a speed that is proper for
the terrain, visibility, and operating con-
ditions, and your experience. Consider
reserving use of the performance key
for situations in which full speed and
acceleration capability are appropriate.
This vehicle does not have the same
kind of protection for collisions as a car;
for example, there are no air bags, the
cockpit is not fully enclosed, and it is
not designed for collisions with other
vehicles. Therefore, it is particularly
important to fasten seat belts and side
nets and wear an approved helmet.
