GENERAL INFORMATION

Notice to utility vehicle and truck

owners

WARNINGS

Utility vehicles have a significantly

higher rollover rate than other types

of vehicles. To reduce the risk of

serious injury or death from a rollover or

other crash you must avoid sharp turns and

abrupt maneuvers, drive at safe speeds for

the conditions, keep tires properly inflated,

never overload or improperly load your

vehicle, and make sure every passenger is

properly restrained.

In a rollover crash, an unbelted

person is significantly more likely to

die than a person wearing a seat belt.

All occupants must wear seat belts and

children/infants must use appropriate

restraints to minimize the risk of injury or

ejection.

Do not become overconfident in the

ability of four-wheel drive vehicles.

Although a four-wheel drive vehicle

may accelerate better than a two-wheel

drive vehicle in low traction situations, it

won't stop any faster than two-wheel drive

vehicles. Always drive at a safe speed.

E145298

Utility vehicles and trucks handle

differently than passenger cars in the

various driving conditions that are

encountered on streets, highways and

off-road. Utility vehicles and trucks are not

designed for cornering at speeds as high

as passenger cars any more than low-slung

sports cars are designed to perform

satisfactorily under off-road conditions.

Study your owner's manual and any

supplements for specific information about

equipment features, instructions for safe

driving and additional precautions to

reduce the risk of an accident or serious

injury.

Four-wheel drive system (if

equipped)

WARNING

Do not become overconfident in the

ability of four-wheel drive vehicles.

Although a four-wheel drive vehicle

may accelerate better than a two-wheel

drive vehicle in low traction situations, it

won't stop any faster than two-wheel drive

vehicles. Always drive at a safe speed.

A vehicle equipped with four-wheel drive

(when selected) has the ability to use all

four wheels to power itself. This increases

traction which may enable you to safely

drive over terrain and road conditions that

a conventional two-wheel drive vehicle

cannot.

For four-wheel drive vehicles, a spare tire

of a different size other than the tire

provided should never be used. A dissimilar

spare tire size (other than the spare tire

provided) or major dissimilar tire sized

between the front and rear axles could

cause the four-wheel drive system to stop

functioning and default to front-wheel

drive.
