SYMBOLS KEY
If you do not read this entire Owner’s Manual, you may miss important
information. Observe all Cautions and Warnings.
ROLLOVER WARNING
Utility vehicles have a significantly higher rollover rate than other types of
vehicles. This vehicle has a higher ground clearance and a higher center of gravity than many passenger vehicles. It is capable of performing better in a
wide variety of off-road applications. Driven in an unsafe manner, all vehicles
can go out of control. Because of the higher center of gravity, if this vehicle is
out of control it may roll over while some other vehicles may not.
Do not attempt sharp turns, abrupt maneuvers, or other unsafe driving actions
that can cause loss of vehicle control. Failure to operate this vehicle safely may
result in a collision, rollover of the vehicle, and severe or fatal injury. Drive
carefully.

Rollover Warning Label

Failure to use the driver and passenger seat belts provided is a major cause of
severe or fatal injury. In fact, the US government notes that the universal use
of existing seat belts could cut the highway death toll by 10,000 or more each
year and could reduce disabling injuries by two million annually. In a rollover
crash, an unbelted person is significantly more likely to die than a person
wearing a seat belt. Always buckle up.
WARNING!
These statements are against operating
procedures that could result in a collision, bodily
injury and/or death.
CAUTION! These statements are against procedures that
could result in damage to your vehicle.
NOTE: A suggestion which will improve installation,
operation, and reliability. If not followed, may
result in damage.
TIP: General ideas/solutions/suggestions on easier
use of the product or functionality.

While sitting in the seat, lift up on the bar and move
the seat forward or rearward. Release the bar once
you have reached the desired position. Then, using
body pressure, move forward and rearward on the
seat to be sure that the seat adjusters have

Manual Front Seat Recline Adjustment
To adjust the seatback, lift the lever located on the
outboard side of the seat, lean back to the desired
position and release the lever. To return the
seatback, lift the lever, lean forward and release
the lever.

Recline Lever

Fold-Forward Front Passenger Seat —
If Equipped
This feature allows for extended cargo space.
When the seat is folded flat, it is an extension of
the load floor surface (allowing long cargo to fit
from the rear hatch up to the instrument panel).
The fold-forward seatback has a softback surface
that you can use as a work surface when the seat
is folded forward and the vehicle is not in motion.
Pull upward on the recline lever to fold or unfold
the seat.
NOTE:You may experience deformation in the seat
cushion from the seat belt buckles if the seats are
left folded for an extended period of time. This is
normal and by simply unfolding the seats to the
open position, over time the seat cushion will
return to its normal shape.
MANUAL ADJUSTMENT (REAR SEATS)
60/40 Split Folding Rear Seat With
Fold-Flat Feature
To provide additional storage area, each rear seat
can be folded flat. This allows for extended cargo
space and still maintains some rear seating room.
NOTE:Prior to folding the rear seat, it may be necessary
to position the front seat to its mid-track position.
Also, be sure that the front seats are fully upright
and positioned forward. This will allow the rear seat
to fold down easily.
WARNING!
Do not ride with the seatback reclined so that
the shoulder belt is no longer resting against
your chest. In a collision you could slide under
the seat belt, which could result in serious injury
or death.
WARNING!
Adjusting a seat while the vehicle is moving is
dangerous. The sudden movement of the seat
could cause you to lose control. Adjust any seat
only while the vehicle is parked.
WARNING!
Do not pile luggage or cargo higher than the top
of the seatback. This could impair visibility or
become a dangerous projectile in a sudden stop
or collision.

sion, people riding in these areas are more
likely to be seriously injured or killed.

vehicle that is not equipped with seats and
seat belts.
Be sure everyone in your vehicle is in a seat
and using a seat belt properly.
