Driving on a Sidehill (Sidehilling)
Driving Downhill
Whenever descending a hill, follow these precautions:
1. Proceed directly downhill.
2. Slow down.
3. Apply the brakes slightly to aid in slowing.
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
when possible. When unavoidable, exercise extreme caution. Avoid
operating on steep hills (15° maximum).
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 when possible.
