Driving downhill
Danger!
There is a danger of serious personal injury
or death and risk of damage if the vehicle
should overturn.
f Do not drive over embankments or slopes at
steep diagonal angles.
f
Drive downhill slowly, with the wheels pointing
straight ahead.
f
If the vehicle starts to tilt, immediately steer in
the direction of the tilt (line of slope).
f
When driving downhill, never let the vehicle roll
when in idle.
f
Use engine braking effect.
If the engine braking effect is not adequate,
gently apply the foot brake.
Note on operation
f
Activate Low Range. The off-road ABS is
switched on automatically.
Tips on driving
The same general principle as for uphill driving ap-
plies to downhill driving.
f Do not perform manual gear changes when
driving, and try to avoid stopping.
f
Avoid high engine speeds (max. 2,500 rpm).
A special circuit in the off-road ABS permits con-
trolled brief lock-up of the front wheels so that they
can dig into the loose surface more effectively.
Locked wheels slip and can no longer be steered.
f When driving down steep hills on unpaved sur-
faces, brake carefully so that vehicle does not
start to slide.
