OPERATION
Driving Downhill
When driving downhill, follow these precautions:
1. Always move the 4X4 switch to ADC 4X4 before ascending or
descending a hill. See page 32.
2. Avoid steep hills (25° maximum).
3. Avoid hills with slippery or loose surfaces.
4. Never drive downhill at high speed. Slow down.
5. Drive straight downhill. Avoid driving downhill at an angle, which
can cause the vehicle to pitch sharply to one side.
6. Shift your weight rearward.
7. Apply the brakes slightly to aid in slowing.
Always follow the procedures outlined in this
manual for driving downhill and for braking
on hills.
