Safe Operation - Driving Safely
Beware of slippery surfaces such as rocks, grass, logs, etc., both in the water and on its banks. A loss of
traction may occur. Do not attempt to enter the water at high speed. Water will affect the braking ability of
your vehicle. Make sure you dry the brakes by applying them several times while driving slowly after the
vehicle leaves the water.
What to Do If Vehicle is Submerged
If the vehicle becomes immersed, it will be necessary to have it transported to your dealer as soon as
possible. Do not attempt to re-start the engine, as water may have been ingested into the cylinders, which
can cause internal damage.
Riding in Mud, Ice or Snow
When performing a pre-ride inspection, pay special attention to locations on the vehicle where mud, ice and/
or snow accumulations may obstruct visibility of the tail lamps, clog ventilation openings, block the radiator
and fan, and interfere with the movement of controls. Before starting with your vehicle, check the steering,
throttle and brake pedals for interference-free operation.
Whenever this vehicle is driven on a snow or ice covered path, the tire grip is generally reduced, causing the
vehicle to react differently to control inputs from the operator.
Riding on Sand
Sand and riding on sand dunes is a unique experience, but there are some basic precautions that should
be observed. Wet, deep, or fine sand may create a loss of traction and cause the vehicle to slide, drop off or
become "bogged" down. If this occurs, look for a firmer base. Again, the best advice is to slow down and be
watchful of the conditions.
When riding on sand dunes, it is advisable to equip the vehicle with an antenna-type safety flag. This will help
make your location more visible to others over the next sand dune. Proceed carefully should you see another
safety flag ahead.
