4INTRODUCTIONINTRODUCTIONThis is a specialized utility vehicle designed for bothon-road and off-road use. It can go places and performtasks for which conventional two-wheel drive enclosedvehicles were not intended. It handles and maneuversdifferently from many passenger cars both on-road andoff-road, so take time to become familiar with yourvehicle.The two-wheel drive utility vehicle was designed foron-road use only. It is not intended for off-road drivingor use in other severe conditions suited for a four-wheeldrive vehicle.Before you start to drive this vehicle, read the Owner’sManual. Be sure you are familiar with all vehicle controls,particularly those used for braking, steering, transmission, and transfer case shifting. Learn how your vehiclehandles on different road surfaces. Your driving skillswill improve with experience. When driving off-road orworking the vehicle, don’t overload the vehicle or expectthe vehicle to overcome the natural laws of physics.Always observe federal, state, provincial and local lawswherever you drive.As with other vehicles of this type, failure to operate thisvehicle correctly may result in loss of control or anaccident. Refer to “On-Road/Off-Road Driving Tips” inSection 5 of this manual.This manual has been prepared with the assistance ofservice and engineering specialists to acquaint you withthe operation and maintenance of your vehicle. It issupplemented by a Warranty Information Booklet andvarious customer-oriented documents. You are urged toread these publications carefully. Following the instructions and recommendations in this manual will helpassure safe and enjoyable operation of your vehicle.InformationProvidedby:
INTRODUCTIONNOTE: After you read the manual, it should be stored inthe vehicle for convenient reference and remain with thevehicle when sold so that the new owner will be aware ofall safety warnings.When it comes to service, remember that your authorizeddealer knows your vehicle best, has the factory-trainedtechnicians and genuine MOPAR威 parts, and is interested in your satisfaction.ROLLOVER WARNINGUtility vehicles have a significantly higher rollover ratethan other types of vehicles. This vehicle has a higherground clearance, higher center of gravity, and narrowertrack than many passenger cars. It is capable of performing better in a wide variety of off-road applications.Driven in an unsafe manner, all vehicles can be caused togo out of control. Because of the higher center of gravityand the narrower track, if this vehicle is out of control itmay roll over when some other vehicles may not.5Operating this vehicle at excessive speeds or whileintoxicated may result in loss of control, collision withother vehicles or objects, going off the road, or overturning, any of which may lead to serious injury or death.Also, failure to use standard seat belts subjects thedriver and passengers to a greater risk of being thrownout of an open-body vehicle than out of a closed vehiclein an accident which can result in injury or death.Although your vehicle may be equipped with a soft topor optional hard top to give the occupants protectionfrom the weather, these tops do not offer structuralprotection in the event of an accident and do not changethe open-body characteristic of the vehicle. Even thoughyour vehicle has a sport bar and side bars for some extraprotection, it is a truly open vehicle-there is no structuralintegrated top and it has low sides and a folding windshield. Many of these vehicles do not have fully enclosedhard doors.InformationProvidedby:1
6INTRODUCTIONDo not attempt sharp turns or abrupt maneuvers or otherunsafe driving actions that can cause loss of vehiclecontrol. Failure to operate this vehicle safely may resultin an accident, rollover of the vehicle and serious injuryor death. Because of its open-body construction, yourvehicle offers less protection than closed vehicles in theevent of an accident.Failure to use driver and passenger seat belts providedis a major cause of severe or fatal injury. In fact, the U.S.government notes that the universal use of existing seatbelts could cut the highway death toll by 10,000 or moreeach year, and could reduce disabling injuries by twomillion annually. In a rollover crash, an unbelted personis significantly more likely to die than a person wearinga seal belt. Always buckle up.HOW TO USE THIS MANUALConsult the Table of Contents to determine which sectioncontains the information you desire.The detailed Index at the back of this manual contains acomplete listing of all subjects.Consult the following table for a description of thesymbols that may be used on your vehicle or throughoutthis Owner’s Manual.Rollover Warning LabelInformationProvidedby:
