Driving With Passengers; Slippery Surfaces - Ezgo LIBERTY LSV Owner's Manual

OPERATION

DRIVING WITH PASSENGERS

• All passengers must fit the vehicle. Passen-
gers must be able to:
• sit with their back against the seat
• adjust the seat belt to fit properly
• have both feet flat on the floor
• All passengers must have seat belts secured across hips
before the vehicle begins operation.
• Do not allow more than three passengers in the vehicle.
• Do not allow a passenger to ride anywhere on the vehicle
except the passenger seats.
• Do not drive with a passenger until you have at least two
hours of experience driving this vehicle.
• Travel at speeds appropriate for your skills, your passenger's skills and the
operating conditions. Avoid unexpected or aggressive maneuvers that
could cause discomfort or injury to a passenger.
• Since handling characteristics can change with the added weight of pas-
senger(s), allow more time and distance for braking.

SLIPPERY SURFACES

When operating in conditions such as ice, water, muddy trails, loose gravel or
freezing temperatures, follow these guidelines:
• Do not operate on excessively rough, slippery or loose terrain.
• Slow down before entering potentially slippery areas.
• Maintain a high level of alertness, carefully evaluate the path of travel and
avoid quick, sharp turns.
• Correct a skid by turning the steering wheel in the direction of the skid.
• Never apply the brakes during a skid.

Skidding or sliding can cause loss of vehicle control.
Skidding or sliding can cause rollover if tires have
lost traction, then regain traction suddenly.
When operating on slippery surfaces, drive at
reduced speed to maintain control of the vehicle.
