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.
