STARTING AND OPERATING

 

Bumper End Cap Removal — If Equipped

The end caps on your vehicle’s front bumper 

can be removed by following the steps below:

NOTE:

Bumper end caps are removable on steel 

bumpers only.
1. Loosen the two bolts that retain the GAWR 

bracket (Bolts #1 and #2) to the end cap 

using a T45 torx bit screw driver. Do not 

remove the bolts.

Bolt #1

Bolt #2

2. Remove the remaining eight bolts.
3. Gently remove the end cap from the vehicle 

and store it where it will not get damaged.

4. Repeat this procedure on the other side.

The Basics Of Off-Road Driving

You will encounter many types of terrain driving 

off-road. You should be familiar with the terrain 

and area before proceeding. There are many 

types of surface conditions: hard-packed dirt, 

gravel, rocks, grass, sand, mud, snow and ice. 

Every surface has a different effect on your 

vehicle's steering, handling and traction. 

Controlling your vehicle is one of the keys to 

successful off-road driving, so always keep a 

firm grip on the steering wheel and maintain a 

good driving posture. Avoid sudden 

accelerations, turns or braking. In most cases, 

there are no road signs, posted speed limits or 

signal lights. Therefore, you will need to use 

your own good judgment on what is safe and 

what is not. When on a trail, you should always 

be looking ahead for surface obstacles and 

changes in terrain. The key is to plan your future 

driving route while remembering what you are 

currently driving over.

NOTE:

It is recommended that the Stop/Start System 

be disabled during off-road use.

WARNING!

Always wear your seat belt and firmly tie down 

cargo. Unsecured cargo can become 

projectiles in an off-road situation.

CAUTION!

Never park your vehicle over dry grass or 

other combustible materials. The heat from 

your vehicle exhaust system could cause

a fire.
