BRAKING
(AUTODRIVE TRANSMISSION)
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.
NOTICE
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.
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.
2. If stopping in traffic, keep your foot on the brake until driving may resume.
3. If stopping to park, press on the brake pedal until you come to a complete
stop. Once motionless, pull up on the parking brake as far as possible, press
the engine start/stop button, and then take your foot off the brake.
NOTICE
If you intend to move the vehicle after the engine is turned off, come to a
complete stop, press the Neutral (N) button on the center console, press the
engine start/stop button, and then take your foot off the brake. The vehicle will
move freely unless the brake pedal is pressed or the parking brake is engaged.
