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.
Utility vehicles and trucks have larger tires and increased ground clearance, giving the vehicle a higher center of gravity than a passenger car.
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.
