defined as a Sports Utility Vehicle (SUV).
SUV’s have higher ground clearance and
a narrower track to make them capable

Avoid sudden braking or steering.
WARNING - Downshifting
When braking with non-ABS brakes
pump the brake pedal with a light up-

designed for cornering at the same
speeds as conventional passenger vehi-
cles, any more than low-slung sports
vehicles are designed to perform satis-

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.
WARNING - ABS
Do not pump the brake pedal on a
vehicle equipped with ABS.
