PREPARING TO DRIVE

WARNING: Utility vehicles have a significantly higher rollover

rate than other types of vehicles.

WARNING: In a rollover crash, an unbelted person is

significantly more likely to die than a person wearing a seat belt.

WARNING: Vehicles with a higher center of gravity such as

utility vehicles and trucks handle differently than vehicles with a

lower center of gravity. Utility vehicles and trucks are not designed for

cornering at speeds as high as passenger cars any more than low-slung

sports cars are designed to perform satisfactorily under off-road

conditions. Avoid sharp turns, excessive speed or abrupt maneuvers in

these vehicles. Failure to drive cautiously could result in an increased

risk of loss of vehicle control, vehicle rollover, personal injury and

death.

WARNING: Loaded vehicles, with a higher center of gravity, may

handle differently than unloaded vehicles. Do not overload your

vehicle and use extra precautions, such as driving at slower speeds,

avoiding abrupt steering changes and allowing for increased stopping

distance, when driving a heavily loaded vehicle. Over-loading or loading

the vehicle improperly can deteriorate handling capability and

contribute to loss of vehicle control and vehicle rollover.

Utility vehicles and trucks have larger tires and increased ground

clearance, giving the vehicle a higher center of gravity than a passenger

car.
