HOW TO USE THIS MANUAL
Essential Information
Consult the Table of Contents at the front of this
Owner’s Manual to determine which section
contains the information you desire.
Since the specification of your vehicle depends
on
the items of equipment ordered, certain
descriptions and illustrations may differ from
your vehicle's equipment.
The detailed index at the back of this Owner's
Man
ual contains a complete listing of all
subjects.
Symbols
Some vehicle components have colored labels
whose symbols indicate precautions to be
observed when using this component. Refer to
“Warning Lights and Messages” in “Getting To
Know Your Instrument Panel” for further
information on the symbols used in your
vehicle.
ROLLOVER WARNING
Utility vehicles have a significantly higher rollover
rate than other types of vehicles. This vehicle has
a higher ground clearance and a higher center of
gravity than many passenger vehicles. It is
capable of performing better in a wide variety of
off-road applications. Driven in an unsafe
manner, all vehicles can go out of control.
Because of the higher center of gravity, if this
vehicle is out of control it may roll over while
some other vehicles may not.
Do not attempt sharp turns, abrupt maneuvers,
or
other unsafe driving actions that can cause
loss of vehicle control. Failure to operate this
vehicle safely may result in a collision, rollover
of the vehicle, and severe or fatal injury. Drive
carefully.
Rollover Warning Label
Failure to use the driver and passenger seat belts
p
ro
vided is a major cause of severe or fatal injury.
In fact, the US government notes that the universal
use of existing seat belts could cut the highway
death toll by 10,000 or more each year and could
reduce disabling injuries by two million annually. In
a rollover crash, an unbelted person is significantly
more likely to die than a person wearing a seat belt.
Always buckle up.
CAMPERS
This vehicle is NOT recommended for slide-in
camper applications.
