OPERATION
Driving Downhill
Whenever descending a hill, follow these precautions:
1. Avoid excessively steep
hills.
2. Slow down. Never travel
down a hill at high
speed.
3. Always check the terrain
carefully before
descending a hill. Never
drive on hills with
excessively slippery or
loose surfaces.
4. Always descend a hill with the transmission in forward gear. Never
descend a hill with the transmission in neutral.
5. Avoid traveling down a hill at an angle, which would cause the
vehicle to lean sharply to one side. Travel straight downhill.
6. Apply the brakes lightly to aid in slowing.
