Aggressive driving in any road conditions can cause you to lose

control of your vehicle increasing the risk of severe personal

injury or property damage. The occurrence of an AdvanceTrac娂 event

is an indication that at least some of the tires have exceeded their

ability to grip the road; this may lead to an increased risk of loss of

vehicle control, vehicle rollover, personal injury and death. If you

experience a severe road event, SLOW DOWN.

STEERING

To prevent damage to the power steering system:

• Never hold the steering wheel at its furthest turning points (until it

stops) for more than a few seconds when the engine is running.

• Do not operate the vehicle with a low power steering pump fluid level

(below the MIN mark on the reservoir).

If the power steering system breaks down (or if the engine is turned

off), you can steer the vehicle manually, but it takes more effort.

If the steering wanders or pulls, check for:

• an improperly inflated tire

• uneven tire wear

• loose or worn suspension components

• loose or worn steering components

• improper steering alignment

PREPARING TO DRIVE YOUR VEHICLE

Utility vehicles have a significantly higher rollover rate than

other types of vehicles.

In a rollover crash, an unbelted person is significantly more likely

to die than a person wearing a safety belt.

Your vehicle has larger tires and increased ground clearance, giving the

vehicle a higher center of gravity than a passenger car.
