Safety Warnings
Crossing Hillsides
Driving on a sidehill is not recommended. Improper procedure could cause loss of control or overturn. Avoid crossing the side of any hill unless absolutely necessary.
If crossing a hillside is unavoidable, always follow proper procedures as described in the owner's manual. See page 61.
Stalling While Climbing a Hill
Stalling or rolling backwards while climbing a hill could cause an overturn. Maintain a steady speed when climbing a hill.
If you lose all forward speed:
Apply the brakes gradually until the vehicle is fully stopped. Place the transmission in reverse and slowly allow the vehicle to roll straight downhill while applying light brake pressure to control speed.
Operating in Unfamiliar Terrain
Failure to use extra caution when operating on unfamiliar terrain could result in an accident or overturn.
Unfamiliar terrain may contain hidden rocks, bumps, or holes that could cause loss of control or overturn.
Travel slowly and use extra caution when operating on unfamiliar terrain. Always be alert to changing terrain conditions.
