lvrany people read their owner’s manual from beginning to end when they
first receive their new vehicle. This will help you learn about the features
and controls for your vehicle. In this manual, you’ll find that pictures and
words work together to explain things quickly.
INDEX A good place to look for what you need is the Index in back of
the manual. It’s an alphabetical list of all that’s in the manual, and the
page number where you’ll find it.
SAFETY WMINGSAND SXMBOLS
You will find a number of safety cautions in this book. We use a box with
gray background and the word CAUTION to tell you about things that
could hurt you if you were to ignore the warning.
In the gray caution area, we tell you what the hazard is. Then we tell you
what to
do to help avoid or reduce the hazard. Please read these cautions.
If you don’t, you or others could be hurt.
You will also find a circle with a slash through it
in this book. This safety
svmbol means “Don’t,’’ “Don’t do this,” or “Don’t let this happen.”

vehicle. Many times, this damage would not be covered by your warranty,
and it could be costly. But the notice will tell you what to
do to help avoid
the damage.

This position gives you even more power (but lower fuel economy)
than
“2.” You can use it on very steep hills, or in deep snow or mud. If
the selector lever is put in “1,” the transaxle won’t shift into first gear
until the vehicle is going slowly enough.
NOTICE:
If your front wheels can’t rotate, don’t try to drive. This might
happen
if you were stuck in very deep sand or mud or were up
against
a solid object. You could damage your transaxle.
I-

Also, if you stop when going uphill, don’t hold your vehicle there
with only the accelerator pedal. This could overheat and
damage the transaxle. Use your brakes to hold your vehicle in
position on
a hill.

If YOU open the door while leaving the lights on, you will hear a warning
tone.
Interior Lights
Turn the headlight switch past HI to turn on the interior lights.
Twilight Sentinel
The control is next to the headlight switch. It switches your lights on and
off by sensing how dark it is outside. To operate it, leave the light switch
off and move the control to any position but off.
If you move the control all the way to MAX, your lights will remain on for
90 seconds after you turn your engine off. If you move the control almost
all the way in the other direction,
so it is just on, the lights will go off
quickly when you turn off your engine. You can change this delay time
from only a few seconds to
90 seconds.
