Page 85: Operation
OPERATION OPERATION SLINGSHOT VEHICLES VS. OTHER ON-ROAD VEHICLES WARNING Failure to operate the vehicle properly can result in a collision, loss of control, accident or rollover, which may result in serious injury or death. Read and understand all safety warnings outlined in the safety section of this owner’s manual.
Page 86 OPERATION • Like all on-road vehicles, the SLINGSHOT can hydroplane (lose traction) when encountering a layer of water on the driving surface. Every vehicle has a unique hydroplane speed and response, driven by vehicle weight, tire configuration and tire condition. The SLINGSHOT may hydroplane at lower speeds and react differently to hydroplaning than most motorcycles and cars.
Page 87: Break-In Period
OPERATION • Unlike a conventional automatic, you will hear and feel the engine speed change during downshifts. This is normal operation. • When cornering, the AutoDrive system may delay shifts in order to avoid upsetting the vehicle and causing loss of traction. This may result in higher than expected engine speeds, but that is normal operation.
Page 88: Fuel Recommendation
OPERATION FUEL RECOMMENDATION NOTICE Use of fuel other than the recommended fuel could result in voiding of your warranty. Use only unleaded gasoline with a 91 pump octane minimum and a maximum ethanol content of 10%. DO NOT USE E-85 GASOLINE OR GASOLINE CONTAINING METHANOL.
