FEATURES AND CONTROLS
Seat Belts
This POLARIS vehicle is equipped with three-point lap and
diagonal seat belts on all external seats. Always make sure the
seat belts are secured for all riders before operating.
WARNING! Falling from a moving vehicle could result in serious
injury or death. Always fasten your seat belt securely before operating
or riding in the RANGER.
To wear the seat belt properly, follow this procedure:
1. For 3-point belts, pull the seat belt latch downward and
across your chest toward the buckle at the inner edge of the
seat. The belt should fit snugly across your hips and diago-
nally across your chest. Make sure the belt is not twisted.
2. Push the latch plate into the buckle until it clicks.
3. Release the strap, it will self tighten.
Tip: The center belt must be tightened manually by pulling on the
strap.
4. To release the seat belt, press the square red button in the
buckle's center.
Seat Belt Inspection
Inspect all seat belts for proper operation before each use of the
vehicle.
1. Push the latch plate into the buckle until it clicks. The latch plate must slide smoothly
into the buckle. A click indicates that it's securely latched.
2. Push the red release latch in the middle of the buckle to make sure it releases freely.
3. Pull each seat belt completely out and inspect the full length for any damage, including
cuts, wear, fraying or stiffness. If any damage is found, or if the seat belt does not oper-
ate properly, have the seat belt system checked and/or replaced by an authorized
POLARIS dealer.
4. To clean dirt or debris from the seat belts, sponge the straps with mild soap and water.
Do not use bleach, dye or household detergents.
