GOING DOWNHILL
Check the terrain carefully before going
down a hill. When possible, choose a path
that lets you drive your vehicle straight
downhill. Avoid sharp angles that could
allow the vehicle to pitch or roll over.
Carefully choose your path and drive no
faster than you will be able to react to
obstacles that may appear.
POTENTIAL HAZARD
Going down a hill improperly.
WHAT CAN HAPPEN
Could cause loss of control or cause
the vehicle to overturn.
HOW TO AVOID THE HAZARD
Always check the terrain carefully
before you start down any hill. Never
go down a hill at high speed. Avoid
going down a hill at an angle that would
cause the vehicle to lean sharply to one
side. Go straight down the hill where
possible.
