Braking
When slowing down or stopping, take your foot off
the accelerator pedal and press the brake pedal
smoothly. Improper use of the brakes can cause
the tires to lose traction, reducing control of the ve-
hicle and increasing the possibility of an accident.
Braking ability is affected by type of terrain. In most
cases, gradual application of the brakes is more
effective than abrupt braking, particularly on loose
surfaces, such as gravel. Always allow for greater
braking distance on rough, loose, or slippery sur-
faces.
Engine braking
Engine compression braking is designed to assist
you when operating your Rhino off-road. With this
feature, the engine helps slow the vehicle down af-
ter you take your foot off the accelerator. Engine
braking is more noticeable in four-wheel drive. Ap-
plication of vehicle brakes provides additional
stopping power.
