If you’re parking your vehicle on a grade or with a trailer, press and hold

the brake pedal down, then set the parking brake. There may be a little

vehicle movement as the parking brake sets to hold the vehicle’s weight.

This is normal and should be no reason for concern. If needed, press and

hold the service brake pedal down, then try reapplying the parking

brake. Chock the wheels if required. If the parking brake cannot hold the

weight of the vehicle, the parking brake may need to be serviced or the

vehicle may be overloaded.

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

A high crown in the road or high crosswinds may also make the steering

seem to wander/pull.

TRACTION-LOK AXLE (IF EQUIPPED)

This axle provides added traction on slippery surfaces, particularly when

one wheel is on a poor traction surface. Under normal conditions, the

Traction-Lok axle functions like a standard rear axle.

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.
