tures to help reduce the risk of driver and pas-

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
accidents.
Body parts outside of vehicle can be struck
by passing objects or crushed during vehicle
rollover. 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
passenger. The driver must be sure that the
passenger is belted before driving.
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 abdo-
men 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.UB5H7AE0.book Page 5 Wednesday, July 4, 2018 1:37 PM

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.
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 vehi cle, 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.1. Seat belt

3. Push the latch plate into the buckle until itclicks. Pull up on the latch plate to make
sure it is secure.
4. 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 passenger.
To lower the belt, insert the belt into the
seat belt height adjuster slot as shown.
To raise the belt, remove the belt from the
height adjuster slot.1. Buckle
