DRIVING UPHILL
Whenever traveling uphill, follow these precautions:
1. Always check the terrain carefully before ascending a hill. Never drive on
hills with excessively slippery or loose surfaces.
2. Avoid excessively steep hills (15° maximum).
3. Drive straight uphill.
4. Drive at a steady rate of speed. Never press the throttle suddenly.
5. Avoid unnecessary changes in speed or direction.
6. Never go over the crest of a hill at a high speed. An obstacle, a sharp drop,
or another vehicle or person could be on the other side of the hill.
7. If the vehicle stalls while climbing a hill, apply the brakes. Place the
transmission in reverse and slowly allow the vehicle to reverse straight
downhill while applying the brakes lightly to control speed.
