Under these conditions, follow these precautions: 1. Slow down when entering slippery areas. 2. Maintain a high level of alertness, reading the trail and avoiding quick, sharp turns, which can cause skids. 3. Correct a skid by turning the steering wheel in the direction of the skid. 4. Drive with AWD engaged to assist in controlling the vehicle. CAUTION Severe damage to the drive train may occur if the AWD is engaged while the wheels are spinning. Always allow the wheels to stop spinning before engaging AWD. WARNING Failure to exercise care when operating on slippery surfaces can result in loss of tire traction and cause loss of control, accident, and serious injury or death. Never apply the brakes during a skid. Do not operate on excessively slippery surfaces. Always reduce speed and use additional caution when operating on slippery surfaces 45
