SAFETY
CROSSING HILLSIDES
Driving on a sidehill is not recommended. Improper procedure could cause loss
of control or rollover. Avoid crossing the side of any hill unless absolutely
necessary.
If crossing a hillside is unavoidable, always follow proper procedures as
described in this owner's manual. See the Driving on a Sidehill (Sidehilling)
section for details.
STALLING WHILE CLIMBING A HILL
Stalling or rolling backwards while climbing a hill could cause a rollover. Maintain
a steady speed when climbing a hill.
If you lose all forward speed:
Apply the brakes gradually until the
vehicle is fully stopped. Place the
transmission in reverse and slowly allow
the vehicle to roll straight downhill while
applying light brake pressure to control
speed.
OPERATING IN UNFAMILIAR TERRAIN
Failure to use extra caution when operating on
unfamiliar terrain could result in an accident or rollover.
Unfamiliar terrain may contain hidden rocks, bumps, or
holes that could cause loss of control or rollover.
Travel slowly and use extra caution when operating on
unfamiliar terrain. Always be alert to changing terrain
conditions.
