Know Your Riding Area / Tread Lightly; Trail Etiquette; New Operator Driving Procedures - Polaris RZR XP 1000 EPS 2019 Owner's Manual

OPERATION

KNOW YOUR RIDING AREA / TREAD LIGHTLY

Familiarize yourself with all laws and regulations concerning the operation of this
vehicle in your area. Respect the environment in which you ride your vehicle.
Find out where the designated riding areas are by contacting your POLARIS
dealer, a local riding club, or local officials.
Help keep our trails open for recreational vehicle use. As an off-road enthusiast,
you represent the sport and can set a good example (or a poor example) for
others to follow. Tread lightly. Operate with respect for the terrain, avoid littering,
and always stay on the designated trails.

TRAIL ETIQUETTE

Always practice good etiquette when riding. Allow a safe distance between your
vehicle and other vehicles operating in the same area. Communicate to
oncoming operators by signaling the number of vehicles in your group. When
stopping, move your vehicle to the edge of the trail as far as possible to allow
others to pass safely.
