slopes or hills. A danger lies in losing traction, slipping sideways and

possibly rolling over. Whenever driving on a hill, determine beforehand

the route you will use. Do not drive over the crest of a hill without

seeing what conditions are on the other side. Do not drive in reverse

over a hill without the aid of an observer.

If you do stall out, do not try to

turn around because you might roll

over. It is better to back down to a

safe location.

Apply just enough power to the

wheels to climb the hill. Too much

power will cause the tires to slip,

spin or lose traction, resulting in

loss of vehicle control.

Descend a hill in the same gear you

would use to climb up the hill to

avoid excessive brake application

and brake overheating. Do not

descend in neutral; instead,

disengage overdrive or manually

shift to a lower gear. When

descending a steep hill, avoid

sudden hard braking as you could

lose control. When you brake hard,

the front wheels can’t turn and if

they aren’t turning, you won’t be

able to steer. The front wheels have to be turning in order to steer the

vehicle.

Since your vehicle has anti-lock brakes, apply the brakes steadily. Do not

“pump” the brakes.

Driving on snow and ice

4WD vehicles have advantages over 2WD vehicles in snow and ice but

can skid like any other vehicle.

Should you start to slide while driving on snowy or icy roads, turn the

steering wheel in the direction of the slide until you regain control.

Avoid sudden applications of power and quick changes of direction on

snow and ice. Apply the accelerator slowly and steadily when starting

from a full stop.
