To reduce the risk of SERIOUS
INJURY or DEATH:

exceed the vehicle's intended
design such as challenging off-
road conditions.
䳜 Avoid high speeds when cornering
or turning.
䳜 Do not make quick steering wheel
movements, such as sharp lane
changes or fast, sharp turns.
䳜 The risk of a rollover is greatly
increased if you lose control of
your vehicle at highway speeds.
䳜 Loss of control often occurs if two
or more wheels drop off the road
-
way and the driver over steers to
reenter the roadway.
䳜 In the event your vehicle leaves
the roadway, do not steer
sharply. Instead, slow down
before pulling back into the travel
lanes.
