ROLLOVER WARNING
Utility vehicles have a significantly higher rollover rate than
other types of vehicles. This vehicle has a higher ground
clearance and a higher center of gravity than many passenger
vehicles. Driven in an unsafe manner, all vehicles can go out of
control. Because of the higher center of gravity, if this vehicle
is out of control, it may roll over when other vehicles may not.
Do not attempt sharp turns, abrupt maneuvers or other
unsafe driving actions that can cause loss of vehicle control.
Failure to operate this vehicle safely may result in a
collision, rollover of the vehicle and severe or fatal injury.
Drive carefully.
Failure to use the vehicles driver and passenger seat belts
can cause severe or fatal injuries in an accident. In a rollover
crash, an unbelted person is significantly more likely to die
than a person wearing a seat belt. Always buckle up.
WARNING!
Failure to operate this vehicle in a safe and prudent
manner may result in loss of control or an accident.
VEHICLE MODIFICATIONS /
ALTERATIONS
WARNING!
Any modifications or alterations to this vehicle could
