Driving On Slippery Surfaces<br />
OPERATION<br />
WARNING<br />
Skidding or sliding can cause loss of control or overturn (if tires regain traction<br />
unexpectedly). When operating on slippery surfaces such as ice or loose gravel,<br />
reduce speed and use extra caution to reduce the chance of skidding or sliding<br />
out of control. Do not operate on excessively slippery surfaces.<br />
Whenever riding on slippery surfaces such as wet trails or loose gravel,<br />
or during freezing weather, follow these precautions:<br />
1. Do not operate on excessively rough, slippery or loose terrain.<br />
2. Slow down before entering slippery areas.<br />
3. Maintain a high level of alertness, reading the trail and avoiding<br />
quick, sharp turns, which can cause skids.<br />
4. Engage all-wheel drive before wheels begin to lose traction.<br />
NOTICE: Severe damage to the drive train may occur if the AWD is engaged<br />
while the wheels are spinning. Always allow the wheels to stop<br />
spinning before engaging AWD.<br />
5. Correct a skid by turning the steering wheel in the direction of the<br />
skid. Never apply the brakes during a skid.<br />
