Driving on a Sidehill (Sidehilling)
Driving on a sidehill is not recommended. Driving on a sidehill improperly cause loss of control or
overturn.
If crossing a hill is
unavoidable,
follow these precautions:
1. Drive slowly and use extreme caution.
2. If the vehicle begins to overturn, or if it feels as if it may overturn, immediately turn downhill.
3. Avoid obstacles and changes in terrain that may lower or raise one side of the vehicle or cause the
vehicle to slide.
4. If the vehicle begins to slide downhill, immediately turn downhill to stop the slide.
Driving Downhill
Whenever driving down 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 driving down a hill.
4. Always drive down a hill with the transmission in forward gear. Never “coast” or drive down a hill
with the transmission in neutral.
5. Avoid driving down a hill at an angle, which would cause the vehicle to lean sharply to one side.
Always drive straight downhill.
6. Apply the brakes lightly to keep speed slow.
