OPERATION
Driving on a Sidehill (Sidehilling)
Avoid driving across the side of a hill. Control becomes difficult and
there is an increased chance of vehicle overturn when driving on a hill-
side.
If crossing a hill is unavoidable, follow these precautions:
1. Engage all-wheel drive.
2. Drive slowly and use extreme caution.
3. If the vehicle begins to overturn, or if it feels as if it may overturn,
immediately turn downhill.
4. Avoid obstacles and changes in terrain that may lower or raise one
side of the vehicle or cause the vehicle to slide.
5. 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.
WARNING
Crossing hillsides or turning on hills can result in loss of control or vehicle
overturn, resulting in severe injury or death. Avoid crossing the side of a hill.
Avoid operating on steep hills (15° maximum).
