Safe Operation - Driving Safely
Operating Your Vehicle
Off-Road Operation
The very nature of off-road operation is dangerous. Any terrain which has not been specially prepared
to carry vehicles presents an inherent danger where terrain substance, shape, and steepness are
unpredictable. The terrain itself presents a continual element of danger, which must be knowingly accepted
by anyone venturing over it.
An operator who takes a vehicle off-road should always exercise the utmost care in selecting the safest path
and keeping close watch on the terrain ahead. This vehicle should never be operated by anyone who is not
completely familiar with the driving instructions applicable to the vehicle, nor should it be operated on steep
or treacherous terrain�
General Driving Tips
Care, caution, experience and driving skill are the best precautions against the hazards of vehicle operation.
Whenever there is the slightest doubt that the vehicle can safely negotiate an obstacle or a particular piece of
terrain, always choose an alternate route. In off-road operation, power and traction, not speed, are important.
Never drive faster than visibility and your ability to select a safe route permit. Never operate the vehicle if the
controls do not function normally. See your dealer.
Operating in Reverse
When operating in reverse, check that the path behind the vehicle is free of people or obstacles. Pay
attention to blind spots. When it is safe to proceed in reverse, go slowly and avoid sharp turns.
WARNING
Steering inputs in reverse operation increase the risk of rollover.
