Sport Utility Vehicle
 WARNING
 WARNING
This Sport Utility Vehicle is designed for both 
on-road and off-road use. It can go places and 
perform tasks for which conventional 2-wheel 
drive passenger cars are not intended. This 
vehicle will handle and maneuver differently 
from conventional passenger cars in driving 
conditions which may occur on streets, 
highways and off-road use.
This vehicle has a higher ground clearance 
and a higher center of gravity than many 
passenger cars. As with other vehicles of this 
type, if you make sharp turns at excessive 
speeds or abrupt maneuvers, the vehicle may 
roll over or may go out of control and crash.
Utility vehicles have a significantly higher 
rollover rate than other types of vehicles.
Failure to operate this vehicle safely may 
result in an accident, rollover of the vehicle, 
and severe or fatal injury.
Before you start to drive this vehicle, read the 
Operator's Manual. Take time to become 
familiar with the driving characteristics of this 
vehicle. Be sure you are familiar with all 
vehicle controls. Learn how your vehicle 
handles on different road surfaces. Do not 
attempt sharp turns at excessive speeds or 
abrupt maneuvers or other unsafe driving 
actions that can cause loss of vehicle control.
When driving off-road or working the vehicle 
hard, do not overload it. And, always wear 
your seat belts at all times. In a rollover crash, 
an unbelted person is significantly more likely 
to die than a person wearing a seat belt.
