HOW TO USE THIS MANUAL
Essential Information
Each time direction instructions (left/right or
forwards/backwards) about the vehicle are
given, these must be intended as regarding
an occupant in the driver's seat.
The figures in this User Guide are provided
by way of example only: this might imply that
some details of the image do not correspond
to the actual arrangement of your vehicle.
To identify the chapter with the information
needed you can consult the Index at the end
of this User Guide.
Chapters can be rapidly identified with dedi
-
cated graphic tabs, at the side of each odd
page. A few pages further there is a key for
getting to know the chapter order and the
relevant symbols in the tabs. There is always
a textual indication of the current chapter at
the side of each even page.
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 maneu
-
vers, 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 provided 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.
WARNINGS AND CAUTIONS
While reading this User Guide you will find a
series of WARNINGS to be followed to
prevent incorrect use of components which
could cause accidents or injuries.
There are also CAUTIONS that must be
followed to prevent against procedures that
could result in damage to your vehicle.
