1. Door2. Shoulder bolster
3. Passenger handholdThe Viking comes with a variety of features to
help reduce the risk of driver and passenger
injury. These features work together, and
when properly used, these features will help
protect the occupants in the event of an acci-
dent. If these features are not used properly,
they can cause injury. Protective structure
The vehicle cage/frame provides a protective
structure that helps limit intrusions by branch-
es or other objects and may reduce your risk
of injury in accidents. The protective structure
will not protect occupants in all rollovers or ac-
cidents.
Body parts outside of vehicle can be struck by
passing objects or crushed during vehicle roll-
over. Do not put your hands or feet outside of
the vehicle for any reason. Do not hold onto
the door, cage/frame or shoulder bolster.
Wear your seat belt and helmet.
If you think or feel that the vehicle may tip or
roll, do not put your hands or feet outside the
vehicle for any reason. You will not be able to
stop the vehicle from tipping over using your
body. Any part of your body (arms, legs, or
head) outside of the vehicle can be crushed
by the vehicle cage/frame.

Seat belts
Seat belts should be worn by the driver and
passengers. The driver must be sure that the
passengers are belted before driving.●
Be sure that each occupant’s seat belt
latch plate is inserted into the appropriate
buckle.
●
Be sure the seat belt is not twisted, is
close-fitting across the hips and chest,
and is latched securely.
●
Do not wear the seat belt across the ab-
domen or stomach.
●
Do not put the seat belt behind the back.
Failure to use seat belts properly may lead to
an increased likelihood and severity of injury. An unbelted occupant may strike the interior
of the vehicle, the protective structure, or oth-
er objects in an accident or during operation.
You may also fall completely out or be partial-
ly ejected from the vehicle, which may lead to
being crushed between the ground and the
vehicle. Wearing the seat belt helps you re-
main in the vehicle – the doors and passenger
handhold are not a substitute for using a seat
belt.
A crash can damage the restraint systems in
your vehicle. A damaged restraint system
may not properly protect the person using it,
resulting in serious injury or death in a crash.
To help make sure your restraint systems are
working properly after a crash, have them in-
spected and any necessary replacements
made as soon as possible.

3. Buckle ( × 3)To wear the seat belt properly, do the follow-
ing:
1. Hold the latch plate as you pull the belt across your lap and chest. Make sure the
belt is not twisted and is not caught on
any portion of the vehicle, your clothing,
or any equipment you are carrying. 2. If the latch plate is not positioned in the
correct location along the seat belt,
squeeze the latch plate ends together
along its long edges in order to more eas-
ily adjust its location up or down along the
length of the belt.
3. Push the latch plate into the buckle until it clicks. Pull up on the latch plate to make
sure it is secure.

3. Release button4. Put the lap portion of the belt low on your
hips. Pull up on the shoulder part so the
belt is snug across your hips. Be sure the
seat belt is not caught on the shoulder
bolster or other object.
5. Position the shoulder belt over your shoulder and across your chest. The
shoulder belt should fit against your
chest. If it is loose, pull the belt out all the
way and then let it retract. 6. Check if the seat belt shoulder position
suits the size of the driver and passen-
gers.

NOTICEAfter driving your vehicle in water, be sure
to drain the trapped water by removing the
check hoses at the bottom of the air filter
case and air duct and the V-belt case drain
plug. Wash the vehicle in fresh water if it
has been operated in salt water or muddy
conditions.
Loose terrain/slippery terrain
When driving on slippery terrain, including
wet, muddy, or icy conditions, as well as loose
gravel, be aware that you could begin skid-
ding or sliding. To avoid loss of control, slow
down and put the vehicle in four-wheel drive
before driving on a slippery surface and plan
your path to avoid making abrupt maneuvers.
If you feel the vehicle begin to slide sideways
or the back wheels slide during a turn, steer
into the direction of the slide if possible, to re-
gain directional control. For example, if you
feel the back of the vehicle start to slide to
your right, steer to the right.
