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.
