Seat and hip restraints
The seat and hip restraints are designed to help
keep you in the vehicle. Do not hold onto hip
restraint when the vehicle is moving. Your hand
or arm may be struck by objects or crushed
against outside objects or the ground during a
rollover.
Floorboard
The floorboard allows you to brace your feet,
which helps you keep your body in the vehi-
cle in the event of an accident or rollover.
Keep your feet on the floorboard during op-
eration.
Steering wheel
Keep both hands on the steering wheel. Do not
hold the steering wheel with your thumbs in-
side the rim. Keep your palms on the outside of
the steering wheel. Similar to other off-road
vehicles, if the vehicle hits a deep rut or large
obstacle, the steering wheel could briefly jerk in
one direction or back and forth as the tires and
vehicle respond to the obstacle. This quick mo-
tion could injure your thumbs or wrist if your
thumbs or hand(s) are inside the steering wheel.
Grip the steering wheel so that your thumbs
will not be hit by the spokes. As an example,
see the illustration.
