●
Accessories should be rigidly and securely
mounted. An accessory which can shift po-
sition or come off while you are operating
could affect your ability to control the vehi-
cle.
●
Do not mount an accessory where it could
interfere with your ability to control the vehi-
cle. Examples include (but are not limited
to) an object that limits your ability to turn
the steering wheel or one that limits your
view.
●
Use extra caution when driving a vehicle
with accessories. The vehicle may handle
differently than it does without accessories.
