OPERATION

Driving on a Sidehill (Sidehilling)

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 hill is unavoidable, follow these precautions:

1.Engage all-wheel drive.

2.Drive slowly and use extreme caution.

3.If the vehicle begins to overturn, or if it feels as if it may overturn, immediately turn downhill.

4.Avoid obstacles and changes in terrain that may lower or raise one side of the vehicle or cause the vehicle to slide.

5.If the vehicle begins to slide downhill, immediately turn downhill to stop the slide, or stop the vehicle and maneuver slowly and care- fully until the vehicle can be driven straight downhill.

Driving Downhill

Whenever descending a hill, follow these precautions:

1.Avoid steep hills (15° maximum).

2.Slow down. Never travel down a hill at high speed.

3.Always check the terrain carefully before descending a hill.

4.Always descend a hill with the transmission in forward gear. Never descend a hill with the transmission in neutral.

5.Avoid traveling down a hill at an angle, which would cause the vehicle to lean sharply to one side. Travel straight downhill.

6.Apply the brakes lightly to aid in slowing.
