Hill Particularities
When possible, avoid stopping uphill.
When starting uphill from a stop, more
clutch slippage is needed to prevent
engine stalling.
When riding uphill, more frequent
downshift will be required so that en-
gine has enough power to minimize
speed variations.
When riding downhill, downshift one
or more gears to use engine braking to
slow down vehicle instead of contin-
uously applying the brake. It will take
longer to slow down or to stop.
Load Limits
WARNING
Never add cargo on the trailer
cover as it will increase the risk
of tipping over. All cargo must
be stored and secured inside the
trailer.
Load limits must be observed with the
appropriate towing equipment.
