DRIVING
Climbing Sharp Gradients on Loose
Surfaces
Start off smoothly in a suitable gear. Accel-
erate smoothly so that there is no loss of
traction by over-revving of the engine.
Choose a smooth slope and select the ap-
propriate gear so that gear changing in the
middle of the climb is not required.
Changing gears in the middle of the climb
can cause loss of momentum and engine
stalling. Shifting to lower gear has to be
done cautiously to avoid loss of traction.
Under no conditions should the vehicle be
moved diagonally across a hill. The dan-
ger is in loss of traction and side-ways slip-
page, possibly resulting in toppling over. If
unavoidable, choose a mild angle and
keep the vehicle moving.
If the tyres start to slip within few feet at
the end of the climb, keep the vehicle sta-
ble by steering left and right. It gives in-
creased grip to the tyres.
If the vehicle stalls or losses headway
while climbing a steep hill, make a quick
shift to reverse and allow the vehicle to
move back with the help of engine brak-
ing.
Descending Sharp Gradients
Depending on the severity of the gradient,
shift into appropriate gear. Use engine
braking judiciously without over-revving
the engine.
Brake gently in such situations.
STARTING the ENGINE
Make sure that parking brake is engaged
and vehicle is in neutral gear.
Press the clutch pedal fully and crank the
engine. Do not press the accelerator pedal
when starting the engine.
Release the key as soon as the engine
starts. Repeat if engine does not start.
WARNING
When descending on sharp gradients,
do not turn the ignition key to the ‘OFF’
position. The braking assist and steer-
ing assist may malfunction and the
emission control system may be dam-
aged.
WARNING
The engine emits poisonous exhaust
gases such as carbon monoxide. Inhal-
ing these exhaust gases leads to poi-
soning. There is a risk of serious health
problems. Therefore, never leave the
engine running in enclosed spaces
without sufficient ventilation.
