Polaris Slingshot SL 2020 Owner's Manual page 17

• Be especially cautious at intersections, where accidents often occur.
• To prevent loss of control, keep both hands on the steering wheel unless
you're shifting gears.
• Obey the speed limit and adjust your speed and driving technique based on
road, weather and traffic conditions. As you travel faster, the influence of all
other conditions increases, which can increase the possibility of losing
control.
• Driving while distracted can result in loss of vehicle control, accident and
injury. Do not use a mobile phone or other handheld device while operating
the vehicle.
• Improper braking may cause loss of control. Apply the brakes gradually when
the road is wet, rough or slippery. Allow for a greater braking distance in these
conditions. If possible, avoid applying the brakes while making a turn.
• Reduce speed in wet conditions. Pay particular attention if water is beginning
to pool on the road. Three-wheeled vehicles behave differently than other
vehicles when driving over deep water. Your SLINGSHOT vehicle may
hydroplane, which could result in loss of control, if operating speed is too high
for the depth of water on the road.
• Avoid operating in icy or snowy conditions. Use caution when driving in
temperatures at or below 40° Fahrenheit (4° Celsius). Leave more room to
stop, reduce cornering speeds, and accelerate gradually. Failure to do so
could result in severe injury or death.
MODIFICATIONS
Modifying this vehicle by removing any equipment or by adding equipment not

USE OF ACCESSORIES

as original equipment. An electrical failure could result and cause hazardous
loss of engine power or lights, or damage to the electrical system.
