While using your Yamaha YXZ1000E
Keep your body completely inside the vehicle at all times. Keep both hands on the steering
wheel except when operating the shift lever. Be sure the passenger is seated, belted, and hold-
ing onto the passenger handhold. Close doors before driving. Any part of your body (arms,
legs, and head) outside the vehicle can be struck by objects your vehicle is passing or crushed
by the vehicle itself in a rollover accident.
 Watch for branches, brush, or other hazards that could enter the vehicle.
 Abrupt maneuvers or aggressive driving, even on flat, open areas, can cause loss of control,
including rollovers. The YXZ1000E has higher ground clearance and other features to handle
rugged terrain, and, as a result, can overturn in situations where some other vehicles may not.
 Avoid rollovers:
• Use care when turning:
• Turning the steering wheel too far or too fast can result in a rollover.
• Avoid sideways sliding, skidding, or fishtail ing (rear-wheel sliding), and never do donuts.
• Slow down before entering a turn and avoid hard braking in a turn.
• When making tight turns from a stop or at sl ow speeds, avoid sudden or hard acceleration.UB5J7CE0.book Page 4 Thursday, November 26, 2020 1:37 PM

• Drive straight up and down inclines, not across them. If crossing a hill is unavoidable, drive
slowly and turn downhill immediately if you feel the vehicle may tip.
• Avoid paved surfaces. Turn gradually and go slowly if you must drive on pavement. This
vehicle is designed for off-road use only.
 If you think or feel that the vehicle may tip or roll, keep your body completely inside the protec-
tive structure of the vehicle:
• Brace yourself by pressing your feet firmly on the floorboard and keep a firm grip on the steering wheel or passenger handhold.
• Do not put your hands or feet outside of the vehicle for any reason. Your arm or leg could be
crushed.
• Do not try to stop a vehicle tipover using your arm or leg.
 Do not operate this vehicle on any public street , road, or highway, even if dirt or gravel.
