signed primarily for use on paved roads.
However, occasional use in  off-highway
conditions such as established unpaved
roads   and  non-challenging     off-road
trails is allowed. The 4WD Santa Fe is not
designed  for  blazing  new  trails,   chal-
lenging off-road conditions,  or unpaved
hill climbing.  Exceeding  the conditions
that were  intended for the  vehicle's pri-
mary design may result in injury or death.

collision rate than other type of vehicles.
Utility vehicle have higher ground clear-
ance  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 gravitiy than ordinary cars. An advan-
tage of the higher ground clearance is  a
better view  of the  road allowing  you to

signed for cornering at the same speeds

designed  to  perform  satisfactorily  un-
der off-road conditions. If at all possible,
avoid sharp turns or  abrupt maneuvers.

ure to operate this vehicle correctly may
