– Never operate this vehicle in fast
flowing water or in water deeper
than specified in
HICLE
subsection. Remember that
wet brakes may have reduced stop-
ping ability. Test your brakes after
leaving water. If necessary, apply
them several times to let friction dry
out the brakes.
– Always ensure to properly park the
vehicle on the flattest terrain section
available. Put shift lever in PARK,
stop engine, remove key, and lock
the shift lever before leaving the ve-
hicle.
– Never assume that the vehicle will
go everywhere safely.
changes in terrain caused by holes,
depressions, banks, softer or harder
"ground" or other irregularities may
cause the vehicle to topple or be-
come unstable. To avoid this, slow
down and always observe the ter-
rain ahead. If the vehicle does begin
to topple or rollover, the best advice
is to immediately steer in the direc-
tion of the rollover! Never attempt
to prevent a rollover with your arms
or legs. You should keep your limbs
inside the cage.
