SAFE OPERATION 105 Sliding and Skidding On slippery or loose surfaces, special care is required. Sliding may be hazardous because the wheels may suddenly regain traction and cause the vehicle to tip or overturn and have an accident. Therefore, never ride "over your head" when you are unprepared for the riding surface. Often you can correct a skid by turning the wheels in the direction of the skid and placing additional body weight on the front wheels. Do not apply heavy braking force or accelerate when skidding, since this may cause you to lose control altogether. Learn to safely control skidding or sliding by practicing at low speeds and on level, smooth terrain. j Remember: żStop and look for obstacles before descending a hill. żUse low gearing. żGo straight downhill. żShift your weight to the rear. żGo slowly. żAvoid sudden braking (For "4WD" only). żAvoid excessive use front brake (For "2WD" only). żIf you must turn, do so carefully and gradually, keeping your weight toward the top of the hill.
