Lire le Manuel du propriétaire.
Lire le Guide de conseils à l’intention du conducteur du véhicu\
le récréatif hors route. Suivre toutes les directives et tous les avertissements.L’utilisation négligente d’un véhicule hors route
peut causer de graves blessures, voire la mort.
Les roulades ont déjà causé des
blessures graves et la mort, même
sur terrain plat et sans obstacles.
Utilisation vigilante du véhicule
Faire sa part pour prévenir les blessures : Ne pas permettre la conduite acrobatique ou imprudente.

S’assurer que le conducteur est âgé d’au moins 16 ans
et qu’il est titulaire d’un permis de conduire valide.

Ne permettre à personne de conduire le véhicule ou
d’y prendre place après avoir consommé alcool ou drogues.

Ne pas permettre la conduite du véhicule sur les chemins
publics (à moins que les véhicules hors route y soient
autorisés) – les collisions avec voitures et camions arrivent en un clin d’œil.

Ne pas dépasser le nombre de places disponibles : 1 passager.
Être préparé
Attacher la ceinture de sécurité.Porter un casque homologué, une protection pour les yeux et une tenue de protection.Le conducteur doit pouvoir rejoindre aisément toutes les commandes alors qu’il est en
position assise, son dos contre le dossier du siège.Les occupants doivent pouvoir rejoindre la poignée de maintien centrale alors que leurs
pieds reposent à plat sur le plancher et qu’ils sont assis le dos \
contre le dossier du siège.Demeurer entièrement dans l’habitacle du véhicule.
Conduire de façon responsable
Prévenir la perte de contrôle ou les roulades :
Éviter les manœuvres subites, glissements latéraux,
dérapages, queues de poisson et
zigzags; ne jamais tenter d’acrobaties.

Ralentir avant d’entamer un virage.

Éviter d’accélérer brusquement dans les virages,
même à partir de l’arrêt.

Être prêt pour pentes, terrains inhospitaliers,
ornières, aspérités du terrain et autres facteurs
réduisant la traction. Éviter les surfaces asphaltées.

Ne pas conduire sur le flanc des pentes.

Ne permettre à personne de prendre place dans la caisse de chargement.

Être prévoyant, être prêt
Si une roulade ou un capotage semble imminent, réduire le risque de blessures :Agripper fermement le volant ou la poignée de maintien et se préparer à encaisser le c\
hoc.
Ne mettre aucune partie du corps hors du véhicule, pour quelque raison que ce soit.

can cause the tires to lose traction, reducing
control and increasing the possibility of an ac-
cident.
WARNING
EWB00712Make sure the engine has sufficiently
slowed before shifting to a lower gear. En-
gaging a lower gear when the engine
speed is too high could make the wheels
stop rotating and lose traction. This could
cause loss of control, an accident and inju-
ry. It could also cause engine or drivetrain
damage. Recommended shift points
The recommended shift points during accel-
eration and deceleration are shown in the ta-
ble below.To drive in reverse
WARNING
EWB03300Before you shift into reverse, make sure
there are no obstacles or people behind
you. When it is safe to proceed, go slowly.
Hitting an obstacle or
person could result
in serious inju ry or death. 1. Stop the vehicle and continue to apply
the brake pedal.
2. Check behind you.
3. Press the clutch pedal, and pull the re- verse gear lock lever.
4. Shift the transmission into reverse.Shift up points: 1st → 2nd: 19 km/h (12 mi/h)
2nd → 3rd: 33 km/h (21 mi/h)
3rd → 4th: 44 km/h (27 mi/h)
4th → 5th: 53 km/h (33 mi/h)
Shift down points: 5th → 4th: 30 km/h (19 mi/h)
4th → 3rd: 17 km/h (11 mi/h)

Braking
When slowing down or stopping, take your
foot off the accelerator pedal and press the
brake pedal smoothly. Abrupt or improper
use of the brakes can cause the tires to lose
traction, reducing control of the vehicle and
increasing the possibility of an accident.
Braking ability is affected by type of terrain. In
most cases, gradual application of the brakes
is more effective than abrupt braking, partic-
ularly on loose surfaces, such as gravel. Al-
ways allow for greater braking distance on
rough, loose, or slippery surfaces.
Engine compression braking will also help
slow the vehicle down. With the transmission
still in gear, take your foot off the accelerator
and allow the drivetrain and engine to absorb
vehicle speed. Downshift as necessary. Ap-
plication of the brakes provides additional
stopping power. Leaving the vehicle
Do not get out of the vehicle while the engine
is running. Take the key with when you leave
the vehicle. There is a serious risk of injury or
death because:

Children or other unauthorized persons
may attempt to operate the vehicle.
 Objects tossed into the vehicle may strike
the shift lever and accidently engage the
transmission.
 The parking brake may not keep the vehicle
from moving.
Parking on a flat area
Even when parking on a seemingly flat area, it
is good practice to leave the transmission in
gear to prevent the vehicle from rolling.
Therefore, shift into first or reverse gear, stop
the engine and always apply the parking
brake.UB5J7CE0.book Page 15 Thursday, November 26, 2020 1:37 PM

sense and remember that some hills are too
steep for you to climb or descend. Use proper
driving techniques to avoid rearward, for-
ward, or sideways rollovers on hills and
slopes.
Drive straight up and down inclines, not
across them. If crossing a hill is unavoidable,
drive slowly. Turn downhill immediately if you
feel the vehicle may tip.
If you think or feel the vehicle may tip or
roll:
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.
Uphill
Do not attempt to climb hills until you have
mastered basic maneuv ers on flat ground.
Drive straight up hills, and avoid crossing the
side of a hill, which increases your risk of roll- over. Practice first on gentle slopes before at-
tempting steeper hills. Always check the
terrain carefully before attempting any hill.
To climb a hill, you need traction, momentum,
and steady throttle. For more traction and
control for climbing steeper and/or rougher
slopes, shift into low gear and select “4WD”
or “DIFF. LOCK”. Travel fast enough to main-
tain momentum, but not so fast that you can-
not react to changes in the terrain as you
climb.
Slow down when you reach the crest of the
hill if you cannot see clearly what is on the
other side – there could be another person, an
obstacle, or a sharp drop-off.
If you start to lose traction or momentum
when climbing, and decide you will be unable
to continue, use the brakes to stop. Do not at-
tempt to turn the vehicle around. With your
foot on the brake pedal, look behind you and
plan your descent. Press the clutch pedal and
shift the transmission into reverse so you can
use engine braking to slow your descent. Re-UB5J7CE0.book Page 18 Thursday, November 26, 2020 1:37 PM

lease the brake and clutch, and then begin to
coast down the hill. Use engine braking as
much as possible, gently applying the brakes
when necessary.
Downhill
Check the terrain carefully before going
downhill. When possible, choose a path that
lets you drive your vehicle straight downhill.
Choose your path carefully and drive slowly
enough to be able to react to obstacles that
you encounter.
For more traction and control, before going
down steeper and/or rougher slopes, shift
into low gear and select “4WD” or “DIFF.
LOCK”. Engine braking will help you go
downhill slowly. Go as slowly as possible. If
you begin to go too fast, apply the brakes
gently. Avoid hard application of the brakes,
which could cause the vehicle to slide.If you are sliding or skidding, try to steer in the
direction the vehicle is sliding, to regain con-
trol. For example, if you feel the back of the
vehicle start to slide to your right, steer to the
right.
If you must turn on the hill to avoid an obsta-
cle, do so slowly and carefully. If the vehicle
starts to tip, immediately steer in the downhill
direction if there are no obstacles in your
path. As you regain proper balance, gradually
steer again in the direction you want to go.
Rough terrain
Operation over rough terrain should be done
with caution.

Look for and avoid obstacles that could
cause damage to the vehicle or could lead
to a rollover or accident.
 Do not drive in a way that will get the vehicle
airborne, as injury, loss of control, and
damage to the vehicle could occur.UB5J7CE0.book Page 19 Thursday, November 26, 2020 1:37 PM
