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.
