WARNING - Rollover
WARNING - Jacked vehicle
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.
WARNING
While  the full-time  4WD  vehicle is
being raised  on a  jack, never  start
the  engine  or   cause  the  tires  to
rotate.
There  is  the  danger  that  rotating
tires  touching   the   ground  could
cause the vehicle to  go off the jack
and to jump forward.
Your vehicle  is equipped with  tires
designed  to provide  safe  ride and
handling  capability.  Do  not  use  a
size and type of tire  and wheel that
is  different   from  the  one  that   is
originally installed on your  vehicle.
It can affect the safety and perform-
ance  of your  vehicle,  which could
lead  to steering  failure  or rollover
and serious  injury. When replacing
the tires,  be sure  to  equip all  four
tires with  the tire and  wheel of the
same  size,  type, tread,  brand  and
load-carrying capacity. If you never-
theless decide  to equip  your  vehi-
cle with any tire/wheel combination
not  recommended  by  KIA  for   off
road  driving,  you  should  not  use
these tires for highway driving.
Specific   design   characteristics
higher   ground  clearance,   nar-
(
rower track, etc.) give this vehicle
a  higher  center  of  gravity   than
ordinary vehicles.
A SUV is not designed for corner-
ing  at the  same  speeds as  con-
ventional vehicles.
Full-time 4WD vehicles must be tested
on   a   special    four   wheel   chassis
dynamometer.
Part-time 4WD vehicles must be tested
on a  2WD roll  tester with  the transfer
shift knob in the 2H position.
Avoid   sharp   turns    or   abrupt
maneuvers.
NOTICE
Never  engage the  parking  brake while
performing these tests.
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.
•  A full-time  4WD vehicle should  not be
tested on  a 2WD  roll tester. If  a 2WD
roll  tester must  be used,  perform  the
following:
