Driving on Slippery Surfaces
Whenever driving on slippery or
loose surfaces such as wet trails,
gravel, snow or ice, follow these
precautions:
1. Slow down before driving
onto slippery surfaces.
2. Engage AWD before wheels
begin to lose traction.
3. Be alert.
4. Watch the trail.
5. Avoid quick, sharp turns.
Tip: To correct a rear wheel skid,
turn the handlebars in the
same direction as the skid and shift body weight forward.
NOTICE: Severe damage to the drive train may occur if AWD is engaged while
the wheels are spinning. Engage AWD when the wheels have
traction.
Always follow the procedures outlined
in this manual for operating on
slippery or loose surfaces. Use extra
caution. Always avoid skidding or
sliding.
