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.
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.
Getting out on the downhill (low) side
of
a vehicle
stopped across an incline is dangerous.
If
the
vehicle rolls over, you’could be crushed or killed.
Always get out on the uphill (high) side
of
the
vehicle and stay well clear of the rollover path.
