Ford Bronco II 1987 - Advanced Driving and Towing; Deep Snow Driving; Driving on Hills and Inclines

Never drive with chains on the front tires
of 4WD vehicles without also putting them
on the rear tires. This could cause thé
rear end to slide and swing around during
braking.
Driving On Hills
Although natural obstacles may make it
necessary to travel diagonally up or down
a hill or steep incline, you should always
try to drive straight up or straight down.
Avoid driving crosswise or turning on
steep slopes or hills. A danger lies in
losing traction, slipping sideways and
possibly rolling over. Whenever driving on
a hill, determine beforehand the route you
will use. Do not drive over the crest of a
hill without seeing what conditions are on
the other side. Do not drive in reverse
over a hill without the aid of an observer.

When climbing a slope or hill, start out in
a low gear. You should not begin in a high
gear and then shift to a lower gear after
the ascent is started, because starting in a
lower gear will result in less strain on the
engine and minimize the possibility of
stalling.
NOTE: If you do stall out, DON’T try to
turn around because you might roll over. It
is better to back down to a safe location.
Apply just enough power to the wheels to
climb the hill. Too much power will cause
the tires to slip, spin and lose traction,
resulting in loss of vehicle control.
x (li
Keep tires from spinning or slipping to help
maintain vehicle control.
