Descending Hills Improperly
Improperly descending a hill could cause loss of control or
overturn.
Always follow proper procedures for traveling down hills as
described in the owner's manual. NOTE: A special tech-
nique is required when braking while traveling downhill. See
page 78.
Always descend a hill with the transmission in forward gear.
Do not descend a hill with the transmission in neutral.
Always check the terrain carefully before descending a hill.
Shift your weight rearward.
Never travel down a hill at high speed.
Avoid traveling down a hill at an angle, which would cause
the vehicle to lean sharply to one side. Travel straight down
the hill when possible.
