• 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

WARNING: Utility vehicles have a significantly higher rollover

rate than other types of vehicles.

WARNING: 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.

WARNING: 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.
