There are some important things to remember about

how to load your vehicle.

• The heaviest things should be on the load ﬂoor and

forward of the rear axle. Put heavier items as far

forward as you can.

• Be sure the load is secured properly, so driving on

the off-road terrain does not toss things around.

You will ﬁnd other important information in this manual.

See Loading Your Vehicle on page 4-34, Luggage

Carrier on page 2-58, and Tires on page 5-57.

Environmental Concerns

Off-road driving can provide wholesome and satisfying

recreation. However, it also raises environmental

concerns. We recognize these concerns and urge every

off-roader to follow these basic rules for protecting the

environment:

• Always use established trails, roads, and areas that

have been specially set aside for public off-road

recreational driving; obey all posted regulations.

• Avoid any driving practice that could damage the

environment — shrubs, ﬂowers, trees, grasses — or

disturb wildlife. This includes wheel-spinning,

breaking down trees, or unnecessary driving

through streams or over soft ground.

• Always carry a litter bag — make sure all refuse is

removed from any campsite before leaving.

• Take extreme care with open ﬁres where permitted,

camp stoves, and lanterns.

• Never park your vehicle over dry grass or other

combustible materials that could catch ﬁre from

the heat of the vehicle’s exhaust system.

Traveling to Remote Areas

It makes sense to plan your trip, especially when

going to a remote area. Know the terrain and plan your

route. You are much less likely to get bad surprises.

Get accurate maps of trails and terrain. Try to learn of

any blocked or closed roads.

It is also a good idea to travel with at least one other

vehicle. If something happens to one of them, the other

can help quickly.

Does your vehicle have a winch? If so, be sure to read

the winch instructions. In a remote area, a winch can be

handy if you get stuck. But you will want to know how to

use it properly.
