HOW TO USE THIS MANUAL

Essential Information

Consult the Table of Contents to determine which section contains the
information you desire.
Since the specification of your vehicle depends on the items of equipment
ordered, certain descriptions and illustrations may differ from your vehicle's
equipment.
The detailed Index at the back of this Owner's Manual contains a complete
listing of all subjects.

Symbols

Some vehicle components have colored labels whose symbols indicate
precautions to be observed when using this component. Refer to "Warning
Lights and Messages" in "Getting To Know Your Instrument Panel" for
further information on the symbols used in your vehicle.

ROLLOVER WARNING

Utility vehicles have a significantly higher rollover rate than other types of
vehicles. This vehicle has a higher ground clearance and a higher center of
gravity than many passenger vehicles. It is capable of performing better in a
wide variety of off-road applications. Driven in an unsafe manner, all
vehicles can go out of control. Because of the higher center of gravity, if this
vehicle is out of control it may roll over while some other vehicles may not.
Do not attempt sharp turns, abrupt maneuvers, or other unsafe driving
actions that can cause loss of vehicle control. Failure to operate this vehicle
safely may result in a collision, rollover of the vehicle, and severe or fatal
injury. Drive carefully.
Rollover Warning Label
Failure to use the driver and passenger seat belts provided is a major cause
of severe or fatal injury. In fact, the US government notes that the universal
use of existing seat belts could cut the highway death toll by 10,000 or more
each year and could reduce disabling injuries by two million annually. In a
rollover crash, an unbelted person is significantly more likely to die than a
person wearing a seat belt. Always buckle up.
