Whenever riding on slippery surfaces such as wet trails or loose gravel,
or during freezing weather, follow these precautions:

2. Slow down when entering slippery areas.
3. Engage AWD before wheels begin to lose traction.
NOTICE: Severe damage to drive train may occur if AWD is engaged while the
wheels are spinning. Allow the rear wheels to stop spinning before
engaging AWD, or engage AWD before wheels begin to lose traction.
