NOTICE TO UTILITY VEHICLE AND TRUCK OWNERS

Utility vehicles and trucks handle

differently than passenger cars in

the various driving conditions that

are encountered on streets,

highways and off-road. 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.

WARNING: Utility vehicles have a significantly higher rollover

rate than other types of vehicles. To reduce the risk of serious

injury or death from a rollover or other crash you must:

• Avoid sharp turns and abrupt maneuvers;

• Drive at safe speeds for the conditions;

• Keep tires properly inflated;

• Never overload or improperly load your vehicle; and

• Make sure every passenger is properly restrained.

WARNING: In a rollover crash, an unbelted person is

significantly more likely to die than a person wearing a seat belt.

All occupants must wear seat belts and children/infants must use

appropriate restraints to minimize the risk of injury or ejection.

Study your owner’s guide and any supplements for specific information

about equipment features, instructions for safe driving and additional

precautions to reduce the risk of an accident or serious injury.

VEHICLE CHARACTERISTICS

4WD system (if equipped)

Your vehicle may be equipped with a four-wheel drive (4WD) system.

With the 4WD option, power will be delivered to the front wheels and

distributed to the rear wheels as needed. This increases traction which

may enable you to safely drive over terrain and road conditions that a

conventional two-wheel drive vehicle cannot. The 4WD system is active

all the time and requires no input from the operator.
