Q:
What if I’m driving across an incline that’s not too steep, but
I
hit
A:
If you feel your vehicle starting to slide sideways, turn downhill. This
should help straighten out the vehicle and prevent the side slipping.
However, a much better way to prevent this is to get out and “walk the
course”
so
you know what the surface is like before
you
drive it.
some loose gravel and start to slide downhill. What should
I
do?
Stalling on an Incline
If
your vehicle stalls when you’re crossing an incline, be sure you (and your
passengers) get out on
the
uphill side, even if the door there is harder to
open.
If
you get out on the downhill side and the vehicle starts to roll over,
you’ll be right in its path.
If
you have
to
walk down the slope, stay out
of
the path the vehicle will take
if it does roll over.
