clearance and a narrower track
to make them capable of per-
forming in a wide variety of off-
road applications. Specific de-
sign characteristics give them a
higher center of gravitiy than or-
dinary cars. An advantage of the
higher ground clearance is a bet-
ter view of the road allowing you
to anticipate problem. They are
not designed for cornering at the
same speeds as conventional 2-
wheel drive vehicles any more

designed to perform satisfacto-
rily under off-road conditions. If
at all possible, avoid sharp turns
or abrupt maneuvers. As with
other vehicles of this type, fail-
ure to operate this vehicle cor-
rectly may result in loss of con-
trol or vehicle rollover.
