Braking When slowing down or stopping, take your foot off the accelerator pedal and press the brake pedal smoothly. Improper use of the brakes can cause the tires to lose traction, reducing control of the vehicle and increasing the possibility of an accident. Braking ability is affected by type of terrain. In most cases, gradual application of the brakes is more effective than abrupt braking, particularly on loose surfaces, such as gravel. Always allow for greater braking distance on rough, loose, or slippery surfaces. Engine braking Engine compression braking is designed to assist you when operating your Rhino offroad. With this feature, the engine helps slow the vehicle down after you take your foot off the accelerator. Engine braking is more noticeable in 4WD. Application of vehicle brakes provides additional stopping power. Leaving the vehicle Do not get out of the vehicle while the engine is running and the drive select lever is in any gear. There is a risk of injury because: G The speed of a cold engine may increase enough as it warms up to cause the vehicle to move on its own while the choke is being used. G Children or others may accidentally press the accelerator pedal. G Objects tossed into the vehicle may strike the accelerator pedal. G The parking brake may not keep the vehicle from accelerating. Unwanted vehicle movement can cause serious injury or death, and it may be dangerous to try to stop the vehicle. 7-16
