Driving on Slippery Surfaces WARNING OPERATION Skidding or sliding can cause loss of control or overturn (if tires regain traction unexpectedly). When operating on slippery surfaces such as ice or loose gravel, reduce speed and use extra caution to reduce the chance of skidding or sliding out of control. Do not operate on excessively slippery surfaces. When driving on slippery surfaces such as wet trails, loose gravel, or ice, be alert for the possibility of skidding and sliding. Follow these precautions when encountering slippery conditions: 1. Slow down before entering slippery areas. 2. Maintain a high level of alertness, reading the trail and avoiding quick, sharp turns, which can cause skids. 3. Engage all-wheel drive before wheels begin to lose traction. NOTICE: Severe damage to the drive train may occur if the AWD is engaged while the wheels are spinning. Always allow the wheels to stop spinning before engaging AWD. 4. Correct a skid by turning the steering wheel in the direction of the skid. Never apply the brakes during a skid. 57
