Introduction
Introduction
Vehicle modifications
This vehicle should not be modified. Modification of your vehicle could affect its perfor-
mance, safety or durability and may even violate governmental safety and emissions reg-
ulations.
NOTE
Damage or performance problems resulting from any modification may not be covered
under warranty.
CAUTION
Use of unauthorized electronic devices may cause abnormal operation of the vehicle, wire
damage, battery discharge, or fire. For your safety, do not use unauthorized electronic
devices.
Vehicle handling instructions
As with other vehicles of this type, failure to operate this vehicle correctly may result in
loss of control, accident, or vehicle rollover.
Specific design characteristics (higher ground clearance, track, etc.) give this vehicle a
higher center of gravity than other types of vehicles. In other words, it is not designed for
cornering at the same speeds as conventional 2-wheel-drive vehicles.
Avoid sharp turns and abrupt maneuvers. Again, failure to operate this vehicle correctly
may result in loss of control, accident, or vehicle rollover.
Be sure to read the "Reducing the risk of a rollover" on page 6-42.
Safety precautions for electric vehicle
If an accident occurs
If towing is required, tow the vehicle with a flatbed equipment or dollies with all wheels off
the ground.
If you must tow the vehicle using only two wheels, lift the rear wheels off the ground and
tow the vehicle.
