Utility vehicles have higher ground clearance 

and a narrower track to make them capable of 

performing in a wide variety of off-road 

applications. Specific design characteristics 

give them a higher center of gravity than 

conventional passenger cars.
An advantage of the higher ground clearance is 

a better view of the road, allowing you to 

anticipate problems. They are not designed for 

cornering at the same speeds as conventional 

passenger cars any more than low-slung sports 

cars are designed to perform satisfactorily in 

off-road conditions. Avoid sharp turns or abrupt 

maneuvers. As with other vehicles of this type, 

failure to operate this vehicle correctly may 

result in loss of control or vehicle rollover.
