Driving on a Sidehill (Sidehilling)
Driving on a sidehill is not
recommended. Improper
procedure could cause loss
of control or overturn. Avoid
crossing the side of any hill
unless absolutely necessary.
If crossing a hill is unavoid-
able, follow these precau-
tions:
1. Drive slowly and use
extreme caution.
2. If the vehicle begins to
overturn, or if it feels as
if it may overturn, immediately turn downhill.
3. Avoid obstacles and changes in terrain that may lower or raise one
side of the vehicle or cause the vehicle to slide.
4. If the vehicle begins to slide downhill, immediately turn downhill to
stop the slide, or stop the vehicle and maneuver slowly and care-
fully until the vehicle can be driven straight downhill.
