Doors The doors are designed to reduce the likelihood that you will stick your leg out to stop the vehicle from tipping over or for any other reason in a rollover.

The driver should make sure the passenger is holding onto the handholds with both hands before operating the vehicle. 7-9 Seat and hip restraints The seat and hip restraints are designed to help keep you in the vehicle.
