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