2-5. Driving information

This vehicle has higher ground clearance and narrower tread in rela-

tion to the height of its center of gravity to make it capable of per-

forming in a wide variety of off-road applications.

Off-road vehicle feature

● Specific design characteristics give it a higher center of gravity

than ordinary passenger cars. This vehicle design feature causes

this type of vehicle to be more likely to rollover. And, it has a signif-

icantly higher rollover rate than other types of vehicles.

● An advantage of the higher ground clearance is a better view of the

road allowing you to anticipate problems.

● It is not designed for cornering at the same speeds as ordinary

passenger cars any more than low-slung sports cars are designed

to perform satisfactorily under off-road conditions. Therefore, sharp

turns at excessive speeds may cause rollover.
