Your vehicle has been designed for both nor-
mal and occasional off-road use. However,
avoid driving the vehicle through areas where
the tires may get stuck in deep sand or mud as
your vehicle is designed primarily for use on
pavement, unlike a conventional off-road
vehicle.
Keep in mind that 2-wheel drive vehicles are
less capable than 4-wheel drive vehicles for
driving on muddy, slippery, wet or snow-cov-
ered roads.
Utility vehicles have higher ground clearance
and a narrower track, which enables them to
perform in a wide variety of off-road situa-
tions. Because of the higher ground clear-
ance, these vehicles have a higher center of
gravity, which makes them handle differently
than ordinary vehicles when driving on pave-
ment. They are not designed to maneuver or
corner at the same speed on pavement as con-
ventional 2-wheel drive passenger cars any
more than low-slung sports cars are designed
to perform satisfactorily in off-road condi-
tions.
Always drive safely and steer the vehicle
carefully. Avoid operating the vehicle in a
manner that might require sharp turns or
abrupt maneuvers. As with other vehicles of
this type, failure to operate this vehicle cor-
rectly can result in loss of control or vehicle
rollover.
In a rollover crash, an unbelted person is sig-
nificantly more likely to die than a person
wearing a seat belt. Before starting the vehi-
cle, always make certain that you and all your
passengers are properly wearing their seat
belts (with children in the rear seat, in appro-
priate restraints).

Fuel economy is dependent on many factors.
Your personal driving habits can have a sig-
nificant effect on your fuel consumption.
Several recommendations for achieving the
greatest fuel economy are listed below.
Whenever accelerating from a stop,
always accelerate slowly and smoothly.
When parked for even a short period, do
not idle the engine. Shut it off.
Plan your trips to avoid unnecessary
stops.
Keep your tires inflated to the recom-
mended pressures.
When driving a 4-wheel drive vehicle on
highways or dry improved roads, set the
drive mode to “AUTO”.
For freeway driving, maintain a speed of
approximately 50 mph (80 km/h) when
traffic, roadway and weather conditions
safely permit.
Keep your air cleaner filter clean and your
vehicle lubricated according to the recom-
mendations in this manual.
Always keep your vehicle well main-
tained. A poorly maintained engine
wastes fuel and costs money.
Never overload your vehicle.

Drunk driving is one of the most frequent
causes of accidents.
Your driving ability can be seriously impaired
even with blood alcohol levels far below the
legal minimum. If you have been drinking,
don’t drive. Ride with a designated non-
drinking driver, call a cab or a friend, or use
public transportation. Drinking coffee or tak-
ing a cold shower will not make you sober.
Similarly, prescription and nonprescription
drugs affect your alertness, perception and
reaction time. Consult with your doctor or

WARNING
Utility vehicles have a significantly higher
rollover rate than other types of vehicles.
Avoid abrupt maneuvers and excessive
speed. Always buckle up.
