Here are some other things to
consider as you approach a hill.
•
Is there a constant incline, or
?
oes the hill get sharply steeper
1n places?
•
Is there good traction on the
hillside, or will the surface
cause tyre slipping?
•
Is there a straight path up or
down the hill so you won't
have to make turning
manoeuvres?
•
Are there obstructions on the
hill that can block your path
(boulders, trees, logs or ruts)?
•
What's beyond the hill? Is there
a cliff, an embankment, a
drop-off, a fence? Get out and
walk the hill if you don't know.
It's the smart way to find out.
•
Is the hill simply too rough?
Steep hills often have ruts
gullies, troughs and expo
�
ed
rocks because they are more
susceptible to the effects of
erosion.
Section 3
DRIVING UP-HILL
O�ce you decide you can safely
dnve up the hill, you need to take
some special steps.
•
Use low transmission and
t�ansfe� case gears and get a
f1rm gnp on the steering wheel.
•
Get a smooth start up the hill
and try to maintain your speed.
Don't use more power than
you need, because you don't
want your wheels to start
spinning or sliding.
•
Let the traction control system
work to control wheel slippage.
The traction control system is
designed to allow moderate
wheel spin while maintaining
some capability of digging in
and powering up the hill.
