STEERING

Your vehicle is equipped with power steering. Power steering uses energy
from the engine to decrease the driver’s effort in steering the vehicle.

To prevent damage to the power steering pump:

•

Never hold the steering wheel to the extreme right or the extreme left
for more than a few seconds when the engine is running.

•

Do not operate the vehicle with the power steering pump fluid level
below the MIN mark on 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:

•

Underinflated tire(s) on any wheel(s)

•

Uneven vehicle loading

•

High crown in center of road

•

High crosswinds

•

Wheels out of alignment

•

Loose or worn suspension components

TRACTION-LOK AXLE/LIMITED SLIP DIFFERENTIAL (IF EQUIPPED)

This axle provides added traction on slippery surfaces, particularly when
one wheel is on a poor traction surface. Under normal conditions, the
Traction-Lok axle functions like a standard rear axle.

PREPARING TO DRIVE YOUR VEHICLE

WARNING: Utility vehicles have a significantly higher rollover
rate than other types of vehicles.

WARNING: In a rollover crash, an unbelted person is
significantly more likely to die than a person wearing a safety
belt.

Your vehicle has larger tires and increased ground clearance, giving the
vehicle a higher center of gravity than a passenger car.
