When driving your vehicle off-road,
please observe the following pre-
cautions to ensure your driving
enjoyment and to help prevent the
closure of areas to off-road vehi-
cles:
Drive your vehicle only in areas
where off-road vehicles are per-
mitted to travel.
Respect private property. Get
owner’s permission before enter-
ing private property.
Do not enter areas that are
closed. Honor gates, barriers
and signs that restrict travel.
Stay on established roads. When
conditions are wet, driving tech-
niques should be changed or
travel delayed to prevent dam-
age to roads.
WARNING
■
Utility vehicle precautions
Always observe the following precau-
tions to minimize the risk of death,
serious injury or damage to your vehi-
cle:
●
In a rollover crash, an unbelted per-
son is significantly more likely to die
than a person wearing a seat belt.
Therefore, the driver and all pas-
sengers should always fasten their
seat belts.
●
Avoid sharp turns or abrupt maneu-
vers, if at all possible.
Failure to operate this vehicle cor-
rectly may result in loss of control or
vehicle rollover causing death or
serious injury.
●
Vehicles with roof rails: Loading
cargo on the roof luggage carrier
will make the center of the vehicle
gravity higher. Avoid high speeds,
sudden starts, sharp turns, sudden
braking or abrupt maneuvers, oth-
erwise it may result in loss of con-
trol or vehicle rollover due to failure
to operate this vehicle correctly.
●
Always slow down in gusty cross-
winds. Because of its profile and
higher center of gravity, your vehi-
cle is more sensitive to side winds
than an ordinary passenger car.
Slowing down will allow you to have
better control.
●
Do not drive horizontally across
steep slopes. Driving straight up or
straight down is preferred. Your
vehicle (or any similar off-road vehi-
cle) can tip over sideways much
more easily than forward or back-
ward.

serious injury or damage to your vehi-
cle:
●
Drive carefully when off the road.
Do not take unnecessary risks by
driving in dangerous places.
