Driving Safely

Driving Downhill

When driving downhill, follow these precautions:
1. If your ATV is equipped with Active Descent Control, always

engage AWD before descending a hill. See page 45.

2. Shift your weight uphill.
3. Drive straight downhill.
4. Slow down.
5. Squeeze the brake lever gradually.

NOTE:

Before operating your ATV, learn how to use the auxiliary brake for

emergency situations (if single-lever brakes become inoperable).

WARNING

Excessive speed when traveling downhill can cause loss of control and

serious injury or death. Slow down.
Applying the brakes too firmly may cause the rear wheels to lock, which

could result in loss of control and serious injury or death. Apply the brakes

gradually.
