On−pavement and off−road
driving tips
This vehicle belongs to the utility vehicle class. Utility
vehicles have a significantly higher rollover rate than other
types of vehicles. This vehicle will handle and maneuver
differently from an ordinary passenger car because it is
designed for off−road use also. In addition, this vehicle
has a higher ground clearance and center of gravity than
that of an ordinary passenger car. This vehicle design
feature causes this type of vehicle to be more likely to
rollover. Failure to operate this vehicle correctly may result
in loss of control, accidents or vehicle rollover causing
death or serious injury. Be sure to read "Off−road vehicle
precautions" in Section
precautions" in Section 3.

Event data recorder
This vehicle is equipped with an event data recorder
(EDR). The main purpose of an EDR is to record, in
certain crash or near crash−like situations, such as an
airbag deployment or hitting a road obstacle, data that will
assist in understanding
performed. The EDR is designed to record data related to
vehicle dynamics and safety systems for a short period of
time, typically 30 seconds or less. However, data may not
be recorded depending on the severity and type of a
crash.
The EDR in this vehicle is designed to record such data
as:
S How various systems in your vehicle were operating;
S How far (if at all) the driver was depressing the
accelerator and/or brake pedal; and,
S How fast the vehicle was traveling.
These data can help provide a better understanding of the
circumstances in which crashes and injuries occur.
