Sidehilling
WARNING
Improperly crossing hills or turning on h ills can result in loss of
control or vehicle overturn, resulting in severe injury or death.
Avoid crossing the side of a hill when possible. Follow proper
procedures as outlined in the owner’s manual.
Sidehilling can be the most dangerous type of driving encountered and
should be avoided if at all possible. If you do enter into a situation
where sidehilling is necessary, follow these precautions:
1. Slow down.
2. Lean into the hill, transferring your upper body weight toward the
hill while keeping your feet on the footrests.
3. Steer slightly into the hill to maintain vehicle direction.
NOTE: If the vehicle begins to tip, quickly turn the front wheel
downhill, if possible, or dismount on the uphill side
immediately!
