driver, call a cab, a friend, or use public transportation.

WARNING!

Driving after drinking can lead to an accident. Your

perceptions are less sharp, your reflexes are slower,

and your judgment is impaired when you have been

drinking. Never drink and then drive.

INTRODUCTION

This is a specialized utility vehicle designed for both

on-road and off-road use. It can go places and perform

tasks for which conventional two-wheel drive enclosed

vehicles were not intended. It handles and maneuvers

differently from many passenger cars both on-road and

off-road, so take time to become familiar with your

vehicle.

The two-wheel drive utility vehicle was designed for

on-road use only. It is not intended for off-road driving

or use in other severe conditions suited for a four-wheel

drive vehicle.

Before you start to drive this vehicle, read the Owner’s

Manual. Be sure you are familiar with all vehicle controls,

particularly those used for braking, steering, transmis-

sion, and transfer case shifting. Learn how your vehicle

handles on different road surfaces. Your driving skills

will improve with experience. When driving off-road or

working the vehicle, don’t overload the vehicle or expect

the vehicle to overcome the natural laws of physics.

Always observe federal, state, provincial and local laws

wherever you drive.

As with other vehicles of this type, failure to operate this

vehicle correctly may result in loss of control or an

accident. Refer to “On-Road/Off-Road Driving Tips” in

Section 5 of this manual.

This manual has been prepared with the assistance of

service and engineering specialists to acquaint you with

the operation and maintenance of your vehicle. It is

supplemented by a Warranty Information Booklet and

various customer-oriented documents. You are urged to

read these publications carefully. Following the instruc-

tions and recommendations in this manual will help

assure safe and enjoyable operation of your vehicle.

4 INTRODUCTION

NOTE: After you read the manual, it should be stored in

the vehicle for convenient reference and remain with the

vehicle when sold so that the new owner will be aware of

all safety warnings.

When it comes to service, remember that your authorized

dealer knows your vehicle best, has the factory-trained

technicians and genuine MOPAR威parts, and is inter-

ested in your satisfaction.

ROLLOVER WARNING

Utility vehicles have a significantly higher rollover rate

than other types of vehicles. This vehicle has a higher

ground clearance and a higher center of gravity 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 go out of control. Because

of the higher center of gravity, if this vehicle is out of

control it may roll over when some other vehicles may

not.

Do not attempt sharp turns, abrupt maneuvers, or other

unsafe driving actions that can cause loss of vehicle

control. Failure to operate this vehicle safely may result

in an accident, rollover of the vehicle, and severe or fatal

injury. Drive carefully.

Rollover Warning Label

INTRODUCTION 5

Failure to use driver and passenger seat belts provided

is a major cause of severe or fatal injury. In fact, the U.S.

government notes that the universal use of existing seat

belts could cut the highway death toll by 10,000 or more

each year and could reduce disabling injuries by two

million annually. In a rollover crash, an unbelted person

is significantly more likely to die than a person wearing

a seat belt. Always buckle up.
