1Off-roading can be dangerous and requires proper preparation, equipment, and skill. Trail conditions, closures, permits, weather, fire restrictions, and vehicle requirements vary by location and can change quickly. Drivers should verify local laws, access requirements, and current trail conditions before travel and stay on designated roads and trails. Always operate the vehicle in a safe manner and consult the vehicle Owner’s Manual for important feature limitations and information.
