2005 RAV4 Ins 10 / 26 / 04 8 : 59 PM Page 24 SAFETY AND EMERGENCY FEATURES Rollover Information This vehicle will handle and maneuver differently from an ordinary passenger car because it is also designed for off - road use . It has a higher ground clearance and higher center of gravity than an ordinary passenger car . This vehicle design feature causes this type of vehicle to be more likely to roll over . Utility vehicles have a significantly higher rollover rate than other types of vehicles . An advantage of the higher ground clearance is a better view of the road allowing you to anticipate problems . However , it is not designed for cornering at the same speeds as ordinary passenger cars any more than low - slung sports cars are designed for off - road use . Therefore , sharp turns at excessive speeds may cause rollover . Failure to operate this vehicle correctly may result in loss of control , accidents or vehicle rollover causing death or serious injury . Be sure to read your Owner’s Manual for more information on safe driving both on and off - road . Avoid Abrupt Maneuvers and Excessive Speed . Always Buckle Up . See Owner’s Manual For Further Information . daomrnuyjrepiovoy:eucosoalnerhuistgsareirlowAfwkmslploneomtorghbcilafnahtenirveysteiuserziseiti Always observe the following precautions to minimize the risk of serious personal injury or damage to your vehicle : • In a rollover crash , an unbelted person is significantly more likely to die than a person wearing a seat belt . Therefore , the driver and all passengers should fasten their seat belts whenever the vehicle is moving . • Avoid sharp turns or abrupt maneuvers , if at all possible . Failure to operate this vehicle correctly may result in loss of control or vehicle rollover causing death or serious injury . • Loading cargo on the roof luggage carrier will make the center of the vehicle gravity higher . Avoid high speeds , sudden starts , sharp turns , sudden braking or abrupt maneuvers ; otherwise , it may result in a loss of ability to operate this vehicle correctly . • Always slow down in gusty crosswinds . Because of its profile and higher center of gravity , your vehicle is more sensitive to side winds than an ordinary passenger car . Slowing down will allow you to have better control . • When driving off - road or in rugged terrain , do not drive at excessive speeds , jump , make sharp turns , strike objects , etc . This may cause loss of control or vehicle rollover causing death or serious injury . You are also risking expensive damage to your vehicle’s suspension and chassis . • Do not drive horizontally across steep slopes . Driving straight up or straight down is preferred . Your vehicle ( or any similar off - road vehicle ) can tip over sideways much more easily than forward or backward . 24
