Prepare your vehicle
Perform the pre-operation checks each time you use the vehicle to make sure it is in safe oper-
ating condition. Failure to inspect or maintain th e vehicle properly increases the possibility of an
accident or equipment damage. See page 5-1 for a list of pre-operation checks.

or other accidents.
 Read “Loading” on page 6-12 before loading the cargo bed.

thrown forward and strike occupants.
 This vehicle is not designed to tow or pull objects. Towing a trailer or pulling another vehicle or
other object will affect handling, stability, an d increase the risk of overturns and accidents.
