Drive with special care and think ahead in off-road terrain. If you drive too fast, or fail to ma‐
neuver the vehicle properly, you could cause personal injury and damage the vehicle.
Never drive faster than is appropriate for the prevailing terrain and the road, traffic, and
weather conditions.
Never operate the vehicle at the limit of its performance ability. Always leave a good safety
margin.
Never drive too fast across embankments, ramps, or slopes. The vehicle could become air‐
borne. If that happens, you will not be able to steer and can lose control.
If your vehicle becomes airborne, always keep the front wheels pointing straight ahead. If the
wheels are not pointing straight ahead when the vehicle lands, it could roll over.
Even areas that look harmless can be dangerous. Potholes, ditches, trenches, drop-offs, dif‐
ferent kinds of obstacles, and soft or swampy ground often cannot be seen and can be par‐
tially or fully covered by water, grass, branches, or other things. Driving over such terrain can
cause accidents and severe injuries.
Never allow people to stand in front of or behind the vehicle if you have put items such as
stones or pieces of wood under the wheels to improve traction on slippery ground. Spinning
wheels can turn these items into dangerous flying objects causing serious personal injury.
WARNING
Utility vehicles have a significantly higher rollover rate than other types of vehicles.
In a rollover crash, an unbelted person is significantly more likely to die than a person wearing
a safety belt.
Your vehicle has a higher center of gravity and an increased risk of rollover while driving than a
standard passenger vehicle that is not suitable for occasional off-road use.
Never drive too fast, particularly through curves, and never attempt extreme driving
maneuvers.
Always adjust your speed and driving style to road, terrain, traffic, and weather conditions.
Transporting luggage or other objects on top of your vehicle raises the center of gravity and
can further increase the risk of rollover.
