Take the bend at steady speed or accelerate slightly. Late braking may put the vehicle into a skid. Use the brakes sparingly when riding downhill, or the brake lining may overheat and impair braking efficiency. Use engine braking and apply both brakes intermittently. Never ride downhill with the engine off. When riding on wet or slippery surfaces (such as snow, ice, mud), slow down, avoid harsh braking and do not swerve suddenly to avoid skidding. Watch for skid hazards and changes in the road surface. Uneven road surfaces, rails, inspection covers, painted signals, construction site metal covers become slippery in rainy weather and must be negotiated carefully, smoothly and keeping the vehicle upright. WARNING Avoid harsh accelerations and slow down gradually or you might lose control of the vehicle. Adjust the pressure on the brakes to decelerate gradually. Using one brake only reduces braking force significantly and may lock a wheel resulting in loss of grip. To stop while riding uphill, close the throttle and simply use the brakes to keep the vehicle steady. Using the engine to keep the vehicle steady may result in the converter overheating. WARNING Always signal your intention to change lane or direction in good time using the direction indicators. Switch off the direction indicators immediately after changing direction. Be very careful when overtaking or being overtaken. When it rains, large vehicles lift surface water, which affects visibility. In addition, the air displacement may make you lose control of the vehicle. use and maintenance Atlantic 500 37 RUNNING-IN STOPPING WARNING After covering the first 1000 km (625 mi), perform the checks listed in the"post runningin" column of the "PERIODIC MAINTENANCE CHART" (see pages 41-42). Failure to perform these checks may lead to personal injury to yourself or third persons, or vehicle damage. Proper engine running-in is essential to preserving engine life and performance over time. Twisty roads and gradients are ideal to run in engine, suspension and brakes effectively. WARNING If possible, avoid stopping abruptly or slowing down suddenly. Brake progressively and in good time. 1 2 3 Release the throttle twistgrip (pos. A) and apply the brakes gradually to stop the vehicle. When stopping for a short time, keep at least one brake on. PU SH WARNING Park the vehicle on firm and level ground to prevent it falling over. Do not lean the vehicle against walls and do not lay it down on the ground.
