WARNING
■The information display at low tem-
peratures
Allow the interior of the vehicle to warm 
up before using the liquid crystal infor-
mation display. At extremely low tem-
peratures, the information display 
monitor may respond slowly, and display 
changes may be delayed.
For example, there is a lag between the 
driver’s shifting and  the new gear number 
appearing on the display. This lag could 
cause the driver to downshift again, 
causing rapid and excessive engine brak-
ing and possibly an accident resulting in 
death or injury.
NOTICE
■To prevent damage to the engine and 
its components
●Do not let the indicator of the tachom-
eter enter the red zone, which indi-
cates the maximum engine speed.

Driving
Drive your vehicle only in areas 
where off-road vehicles are permit-
ted to travel.
 Respect private property. Get 
owner’s permission before entering 
private property.
 Do not enter areas that are closed. 
Honor gates, barriers and signs that 
restrict travel.
 Stay on established roads. When 
conditions are we t, driving tech-
niques should be changed or travel 
delayed to prevent damage to 
roads.
■Additional informatio n for off-road driv-
ing
For owners in U.S. mainland, Hawaii and 
Puerto Rico:
To obtain additional information pertaining 
to driving your vehicle off-road, consult the 
following organizations.
●State and Local Parks and Recreation 
Departments
●State Motor Vehicle Bureau
●Recreational Vehicle Clubs
●U.S. Forest Service and Bureau of Land 
Management
WARNING
■Off-road driving precautions
Always observe the following precau-
tions to minimize the risk of death or seri-
ous injury or damage to your vehicle:
●Drive carefully when off the road. Do 
not take unnecessary risks by driving in 
dangerous places.
●Do not grip the steering wheel spokes 
when driving off-road. A bad bump 
could jerk the wheel and injure your 
hands. Keep both hands and especially 
your thumbs on the outside of the rim.
●Always check your brakes for effec-
tiveness immediately after driving in 
sand, mud, water or snow.
●After driving through tall grass, mud, 
rock, sand, water, et c., check that there 
is no grass, bush, paper, rags, stone, 
sand, etc. adhering or trapped to the 
underbody. Clear of f any such matter 
from the underbody. If the vehicle is 
used with these materials trapped or 
adhering to the underbody, a break-
down or fire could occur.
●When driving off-road or in rugged 
terrain, do not drive at excessive 
speeds, jump, make sharp turns, strike 
objects, etc. This may cause loss of 
control or vehicle rollover causing 
death or serious injury. You are also 
risking expensive damage to your 
vehicle’s suspension and chassis.
NOTICE
■To prevent water damage
Take all necessary safety measures to 
ensure that water damage to the engine 
or other components does not occur.
●Water entering the engine air intake 
will cause severe engine damage.
●Water entering the automatic trans-
mission will cause deterioration in shift 
quality, locking up of  your transmission 
accompanied by vibration, and ulti-
mately damage.
●Water can wash the grease from wheel 
bearings, causing rusting and prema-
ture failure, and may also enter the dif-
ferentials and transmission reducing 
the gear oil’s lubricating qualities.
■When you drive through water
If driving through water, such as when 
crossing shallow streams, first check the 
depth of the water and the bottom of the 
riverbed for firmness. Drive slowly and 
avoid deep water.
