COLD WEATHER OPERATION
WARNING
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.
When operating in cold weather at or below 40° Fahrenheit (4° Celsius), be
advised that:
• The grip on your standard vehicle tires will lessen and reduce traction.
• The denser air from the lower temperatures will allow your vehicle engine to
generate more power.
• The engine control program and transmission control program may
compensate for lower temperatures and as a result exhibit unexpected
behaviors.
• Salt and sand on roadways may reduce the grip on standard vehicle tires and
damage the finish on your vehicle. If you must drive on salted/sanded
pavement, POLARIS recommends washing frequently and thoroughly to
remove any accumulation on your vehicle.
