OPERATION

Driving Uphill

Whenever traveling
uphill, follow these
precautions:

1. Always check the

terrain carefully
before ascending a
hill.

2. Avoid steep hills

(15

 maximum).

3. Drive straight

uphill.

4. Never climb hills

with excessively
slippery or loose surfaces.

5. Drive at a steady rate of speed. Never press the throttle suddenly.

6. Avoid unnecessary changes in speed or direction.

7. Never go over the crest of a hill at a high speed. An obstacle, a sharp

drop, or another vehicle or person could be on the other side of the
hill.

8. 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 the brakes lightly to control speed.
