Improper Cargo Loading
Overloading the vehicle or carrying/towing cargo improperly may cause changes in stability and handling, which could cause loss of control or an accident.
•Always follow the instructions in the owner's manual for carrying cargo or pull- ing a trailer.
• Never exceed the stated load capacity for this vehicle.
•Cargo should be properly distributed and securely attached.
•Reduce speed when carrying cargo or pulling a trailer. Allow a greater distance for braking.
Operating on Frozen Bodies of Water
Severe injury or death can result if the vehicle and/or the operator fall through the ice. Never operate the vehicle on a frozen body of water unless you have first verified that the ice is sufficiently thick to support the weight and moving force of the vehicle, you and your passengers, and your cargo, together with any other vehicles in your party. Always check with local authorities and residents to confirm ice conditions and thickness over your entire route. Vehicle operators assume all risk associated with ice conditions on frozen bodies of water.
Operating a Damaged Vehicle
Operating a damaged vehicle can result in an accident with serious injury or death. After any overturn or accident, have a qualified service dealer inspect the entire vehicle for possible damage, including (but not limited to) brakes, throttle and steering systems.
