Driving on hilly or sloping terrain

Although natural obstacles may make it necessary to travel diagonally up

or down a hill or steep incline, you should always try to drive straight up

or straight down. Avoid driving crosswise or turning on steep

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.

Do not descend a hill in N (Neutral)

and avoid sudden hard braking as

you could lose control.

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

“pump” the brakes.
