Caution – Hummer 2004 H2 User Manual

Log Crossing. Using the proper technique, the
HUMMER H2 will cross logs up to 10 inches (25.4 cm) in
diameter. Approach the log at approximately a 15° angle
(A) with the transmission in FIRST (1) and the transfer
case in 4LO LOCK and “walk” the HUMMER H2 over,
one tire at a time. As with all obstacles, face your tires
perpendicular to the object for best traction and tire life. It
may be necessary to modulate your brake pedal and
accelerator to avoid spin-out. Ease the vehicle down from
the log with your brake.
Driving on Off-Road Hills
Off-road driving often takes you up, down or across a
hill. Driving safely on hills requires good judgment
and an understanding of what your vehicle can and can
not do. There are some hills that simply can not be
driven, no matter how well built the vehicle.
{
CAUTION:
Many hills are simply too steep for any vehicle.
If you drive up them, you will stall. If you drive
down them, you can not control your speed. If
you drive across them, you will roll over. You
could be seriously injured or killed. If you have
any doubt about the steepness, do not drive
the hill.
