ACCELERATING
Accelerate by depressing the throttle pedal. For even acceleration, depress the
throttle pedal smoothly. When you reach the recommended speed for upshifting,
shift up one gear.
WARNING
Accelerating abruptly could cause loss of control on low traction surfaces. Loss
of control could result in serious injury or death. Always accelerate gradually,
especially on wet, slippery or other low traction surfaces.
BRAKING
WARNING
Braking improperly could result in loss of control, which could result in serious
injury or death. Always apply the brakes gradually, especially on wet, slippery
or other low traction surfaces. Avoid braking in a curve or turn.
Always allow a sufficient stopping distance so that brakes can be applied
gradually. Practice braking in a safe area to become familiar with the feel of the
SLINGSHOT brakes before driving in traffic.
1. To slow the vehicle, release the throttle pedal and depress the brake pedal
evenly and gradually.
NOTE
If the anti-lock brake system activates while braking, you may feel pulsing at
the brake pedal. Continue applying equal pressure to the brakes to slow or
stop the vehicle.
2. As the vehicle slows, disengage the clutch, or downshift each time vehicle
speed reaches a downshift point. If braking to a complete stop, disengage
the clutch when the vehicle is nearly stopped.
3. After braking to a complete stop, shift to neutral and release the clutch pedal
to reduce clutch bearing wear. If stopping in traffic, keep your foot on the
brake pedal so other drivers can see your vehicle’s brake lights.
