Never hold the steering wheel at its furthest turning points (until it
stops) for more than a few seconds when the engine is running
Do not operate the vehicle with a low power steering pump fluid level
(below the MIN mark on the reservoir).
Some noise is normal during operation. If the noise is excessive, check
for low power steering pump fluid level before seeking service by your
authorized dealer.
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
PREPARING TO DRIVE YOUR VEHICLE
Your vehicle has special design and equipment features to make it
capable of performing in a wide variety of circumstances. These special
design features, such as larger tires and increased ground clearance, give
the vehicle a higher center of gravity than a passenger car.
WARNING: Utility vehicles have a significantly higher rollover
rate than other types of vehicles. Vehicles with a higher center
of gravity such as utility and four-wheel drive vehicles handle
differently than vehicles with a lower center of gravity. Utility
and four-wheel drive vehicles 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 and 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.
