STREET STRATEGIES
CAUTION Due to vehicle de-
sign, your heels may scrub on
ground in some situations. Think
to lift them when crossing an obsta-
cle, a hole or a bump.
For narrower obstacles, bumps or
holes, it is better to ride over it with
the rear tire. If you ride over them with
a front tire, maintain a firm grip on the
handlebar, take care not to accidentally
applying the throttle and be prepared
to correct your trajectory if necessary.
If you strike a large enough obstacle,
bump or hole, the impact can make the
vehicle jump and strike you, eject rid-
ers, make you lose control, spin or roll
over.
If you can’t come to a complete stop
in time to avoid an obstacle, you can
swerve to avoid it. You can swerve
and brake at the same time if neces-
sary.
If you encounter a large animal in the
road, like a deer, it is best to stop be-
fore reaching it and wait until the ani-
mal leaves, or go past slowly.
If a dog chases you, a good strategy is
to slow down and downshift as the dog
approaches, then accelerate away as
you get closer to where the dog would
intercept you.
On-Road Emergencies
A vehicle malfunction or an unex-
pected situation can occur any time
during a ride. A well-maintained vehi-
cle can help reduce the risk of malfunc-
tion, but you should still be prepared
for an emergency.
– Always have the Operator's Guide
in the vehicle.
– When stopping on the road, follow
these precautions:
• If the road has paved shoulders,
signal your intention to pull off
the highway, pull off at near traf-
fic speed, then slow down to a
complete stop.
• If the shoulder is unpaved, signal
your intention to pull off the road-
way, slow down to a safe speed
before pulling off the paved road-
way and stop the vehicle.
• Let the turn signal activated to in-
crease your visibility.
• On models equipped with hazard
warning lights, activate them to
increase your visibility.
– If you have cellular phone or other
communication device, fully charge
it before long rides.
– If you are involved in an accident,
BRP strongly recommends that
you have your vehicle transported
(see
HOW TRANSPORTING THE
VEHICLE
) to the nearest Can-Am
On-Road dealer to have it thor-
oughly inspected for safety before
riding again.
Tire Failure
If a tire failure or a blowout suddenly
occurs, firmly grip the handlebar, grad-
ually slow down and carefully steer to a
safe place to stop. Avoid hard braking,
downshifting, or sharp steering. If a
front tire fails, the vehicle may tend to
pull in the direction of the failed tire, so
you will need to maintain a firm grip on
the handlebar to control your direction.
