STEERING

To help 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).

• Some noise is normal during operation. If the noise is excessive, check

for low power steering pump fluid level before seeking service by your

authorized dealer.

• Heavy or uneven steering efforts may be caused by low power steering

pump fluid level. Check for low power steering pump fluid level before

seeking service by your authorized dealer.

• Do not fill the power steering pump reservoir above the MAX mark on

the reservoir, as this may result in leaks from 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.

PREPARING TO DRIVE

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 seat belt.

Utility vehicles and trucks have larger tires and increased ground

clearance, giving the vehicle a higher center of gravity than a passenger

car.
