SAFETY
DRIVER AND PASSENGER QUALIFICATIONS
Make sure operators are 16 or older with a valid
driver's license. Just because a teenager has a
license does not mean that they will make good
judgments about driving and avoid risk taking.
Make sure all riders fit the vehicle. Be sure that the driver and all passengers
are able to:
• sit with their backs against their seat,
• adjust the seat belt to fit properly,
• have both feet flat on the floor, and
• have both hands on the steering wheel or on a passenger hand hold.
Do not allow children who need child safety seats or booster seats to ride
in the vehicle. The vehicle is not designed to restrain automotive child safety
seats.
You are responsible for your passengers. Be sure passengers are seated
properly, belted, holding the passenger hand hold, and ready to brace.
Unrestrained riders can fall out or be thrown around and from a moving vehicle.
Every person must be properly seated and belted in their own seat. Two
people should never be belted into a single seat belt. People belted together can
crash into one another in a collision and be seriously injured. Never carry
passengers in the cargo bed as they could be thrown against or out of the
vehicle or come into contact with moving parts.
Do not let people drive or ride after using alcohol or drugs.

POLARIS recommends that you supervise younger drivers.
Set rules and put limits on how, when, and where they are
allowed to use this vehicle. For example, young drivers
may need to have an adult in the vehicle with them and not
be allowed to drive with their friends in the vehicle.
