Driving on Gradients
When climbing gradient, the vehicle may
begin to slow down and show a lack of
power. If this happens, shift to a lower gear
and apply power smoothly so that there is
no loss of traction. When driving down a
hill, the engine braking should be used by
shifting into a lower gear. Do not drive in
neutral gear or switch off the engine.
Driving on Highway
Stopping distance progressively, in-
creases with vehicle speed. Maintain a
sufficient distance between your vehicle
and the vehicle ahead.
For long distance driving, perform safety
checks before starting a trip and take rest
at certain intervals to prevent fatigue.
WARNING
On long and steep gradients you must
reduce the load on the brakes by shift-
ing early to a lower gear. This allows
you to take advantage of the engine
braking effect and helps avoid over-
heating of service brakes resulting in re-
duced braking efficiency.
