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. The axle may

exhibit a slight noise or vibration in tight turns with low vehicle speed.

This is normal behavior and indicates the axle is working.

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.

Vehicles with a higher center of gravity such as utility vehicles

and trucks handle differently than vehicles with a lower center

of gravity. Utility vehicles and trucks are not designed for cornering at

speeds as high as passenger cars any more than low-slung sports cars

are designed to perform satisfactorily under off-road conditions. Avoid

sharp turns, excessive speed or abrupt maneuvers in these vehicles.

Failure to drive cautiously could result in an increased risk of loss of

vehicle control, vehicle rollover, personal injury and death.

Loaded vehicles, with a higher center of gravity, may handle

differently than unloaded vehicles. Do not overload your vehicle

and use extra precautions, such as driving at slower speeds, avoiding

abrupt steering changes and allowing for increased stopping distance,

when driving a heavily loaded vehicle. Over-loading or loading the

vehicle improperly can deteriorate handling capability and contribute

to loss of vehicle control and vehicle rollover.

AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION OPERATION (IF EQUIPPED)

Brake-shift interlock

The vehicle is equipped with a brake-shift interlock feature that prevents

the gearshift lever from being moved from P (Park) unless the brake

pedal is depressed.
