Reducing the risk of a rollover
WARNING - Rollover
This multi-purpose  passenger vehicle  is
defined as a Sports Utility Vehicle (SUV).
SUV’s have higher ground clearance and
a narrower  track to  make them  capable
of performing in a wide variety of off-road
applications. Specific design characteris-
tics give  them a higher  center of  gravity
than ordinary  cars. An advantage  of the
higher ground clearance  is a better view
of  the road,  which allows  you  to antici-
pate problems.They are not designed for
cornering  at  the same  speeds  as  con-
ventional  passenger drive  vehicles, any
more  than   low-slung  sports   cars   are
designed to  perform satisfactorily  in off-
road  conditions. Due  to this  risk,  driver
and   passengers   are  strongly   recom-
mended to  buckle their  seat belts.   In a
rollover  crash,   an  unbelted   person  is
more likely to  die than a person wearing
a seat belt.  There are steps that a driver
can make to reduce the risk of a rollover.
If  at  all  possible,  avoid  sharp  turns  or
abrupt maneuvers, do  not load your roof
rack with heavy cargo,  and never modify
your vehicle in any way.
As with other  Sports Utility Vehicle
(SUV), failure  to  operate this  vehi-
cle  correctly may  result in  loss  of
control,   an   accident   or   vehicle
rollover.
•  Utility vehicles have a significant-
ly higher  rollover rate than  other
types of vehicles.
Specific   design   characteristics
(higher   ground  clearance,   nar-
rower track, etc.) give this vehicle
a  higher  center  of  gravity   than
ordinary cars.
A SUV is not designed for corner-
ing  at the  same  speeds as  con-
ventional vehicles.
Avoid   sharp   turns    or   abrupt
maneuvers.
In  a  rollover crash,  an  unbelted
person is  significantly more like-
ly to die  than a person wearing a
seat belt.  Make  sure everyone in
the  vehicle  is   properly  buckled
up.
