DRIVING ON A SIDEHILL (SIDEHILLING)
Driving on a sidehill is not recommended. Improper procedure could cause loss
of control or rollover. Avoid crossing the side of any hill unless absolutely
necessary.
If crossing a hill is unavoidable, follow these precautions:
1. Engage all-wheel drive.
2. Never operate in TURF mode (if equipped) while operating on a hill or other
irregular terrain. Always move the AWD switch to AWD before ascending or
descending a hill.
3. Drive slowly and use extreme caution.
4. If the vehicle begins to roll over, or if it feels as if it may roll over, immediately
turn downhill.
5. Avoid obstacles and changes in terrain that may lower or raise one side of
the vehicle or cause the vehicle to slide.
6. If the vehicle begins to slide downhill, immediately turn downhill to stop the
slide, or stop the vehicle and maneuver slowly and carefully until the vehicle
can be driven straight downhill.
