VEHICLE HANDLING

INSTRUCTIONS

VEHICLE BREAK-IN

PROCESS

Operation in foreign countries

No special break-in period is need-

ed. By following a few simple precau-

tions for the first 600 miles (1,000

km) you may add to the perform-

ance, economy and life of your vehi-

cle.

As with other vehicles of this type,

failure to operate this vehicle correct-

ly may result in loss of control, an

accident or vehicle rollover.

If you are going to drive your vehicle

in another country, be sure to:

• Observe all regulations regarding

registration and insurance.

Specific design characteristics (high-

er ground clearance, track, etc.) give

this vehicle a higher center of gravity

than other types of vehicles. In other

words they are not designed for cor-

nering at the same speeds as con-

ventional 2-wheel drive vehicles.

Avoid sharp turns or abrupt maneu-

vers. Again, failure to operate this

vehicle correctly may result in loss of

control, an accident or vehicle

rollover. Be sure to read the

“Reducing the risk of a rollover”

driving guidelines, in section 5 of

this manual.

• Determine that acceptable fuel is

available.

• Do not race the engine.

• While driving, keep your engine

speed (rpm, or revolutions per

minute) between 2,000 rpm and

4,000 rpm.

• Do not maintain a single speed for

long periods of time, either fast or

slow. Varying engine speed is

needed to properly break-in the

engine.

• Avoid hard stops, except in emer-

gencies, to allow the brakes to seat

properly.

• Don't tow a trailer during the first

1,200 miles (2,000 km) of opera-

tion.
