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. If ascending a steeper grade is unavoidable,
engage all-wheel drive before ascending.
3. Drive straight uphill.
4. Proceed at a steady rate of speed and throttle opening. Never open the
throttle suddenly.
5. Avoid unnecessary changes in speed or direction.
6. 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.
7. If the vehicle stalls while climbing a hill, apply the brakes. Place the
transmission in reverse and slowly allow the vehicle to roll straight downhill
while applying light brake pressure to control speed.
