Roll-over

WARNING

Avoid sharp turns, excessive speed and
abrupt maneuvers when driving this
vehicle:

Sharp turns, excessive speed and
abrupt maneuvering of this vehicle is
dangerous as it could result in the
increased risk of loss of vehicle
control, vehicle roll-over, personal
injury or death.
This vehicle has a higher center of
gravity. Vehicles with a higher center
of gravity such as utility and AWD
vehicles handle differently than
vehicles with a lower center of
gravity.
Utility and AWD vehicles are not
designed for cornering at high speeds
any more than low profile sports cars
are designed to perform satisfactorily
under off-road conditions. In
addition, utility vehicles have a
significantly higher rollover rate than
other types of vehicles.
RSC might help if you get into
trouble, but then it might not be able
to allow you to fully recover, always
drive carefully with the vehicle's
height in mind.

Drive carefully when the vehicle is
loaded by lowering vehicle speed and
applying the brakes earlier:

Abrupt maneuvering and sudden
braking when driving a loaded
vehicle is dangerous as the driving
behavior of a vehicle with a high
center of gravity is different when it is
loaded compared to when it is not,
and could result in the loss of vehicle
control and an accident.

Emergency Maneuvering

WARNING

Do not perform abrupt maneuvers
when driving the vehicle in an
emergency situation:

Performing abrupt maneuvers even
when driving in an emergency
situation is dangerous as it could
reduce vehicle stability and
operability resulting in an accident.
Operate the accelerator pedal, brake
pedal, and the steering wheel
smoothly.
