Situations that are not Suited for Track Mode
In situations where your BRO is in track mode and steps or thresholds are involved, extra caution is required. The greatest danger is tipping backward. Do not drive over free-standing thresholds in track mode(a), be careful not to drive backwards down a step (b) and also avoid driving forwards up a step (c).
Danger of toppling over backwards when descending thresholds
The center of gravity of the device is relatively far back in track mode. For this reason, you should never descend a threshold backwards in track mode. Many thresholds begin with an initial rise and then drop down again after a very short distance (e.g. door thresholds). Never drive over them backwards. There is a risk of tipping backward.

(b) Going down steps backwards |
(c) Driving up a step facing forward |
