OPERATION
Driving Downhill
Whenever descending a hill, follow these precautions:
1. Slow down.
2. Always descend a hill with the transmission in forward gear. Never
descend a hill with the transmission in neutral.
3. Travel straight downhill.
4. Apply the brakes lightly to aid in slowing.
WARNING
Traveling downhill improperly could cause loss of control or vehicle overturn.
Always check the terrain carefully before descending a hill.
Never descend a hill at high speed. Excessive speed may result in loss of
vehicle control and lead to serious injury or death. Always operate slowly
when traveling downhill.
Avoid descending a hill at an angle, which would cause the vehicle to lean
sharply to one side. Travel straight downhill.
