Safety Warnings
Crossing Hillsides
Driving on a sidehill is not recommended.
Improper procedure could cause loss of
control or rollover. Avoid crossing the side of
any hill unless absolutely necessary.
If crossing a hillside is unavoidable, always
follow proper procedures as described in this
owner's manual. See page 55.
Stalling While Climbing a Hill
Stalling or rolling backwards while climbing a
hill could cause a rollover. Maintain a steady
speed when climbing a hill.
If you lose all forward speed:
Apply the brakes gradually until the vehicle
is fully stopped. Place the transmission in
reverse and slowly allow the vehicle to roll
straight downhill while applying light brake
pressure to control speed.
Operating in Unfamiliar Terrain
Failure to use extra caution when operating
on unfamiliar terrain could result in an
accident or rollover.
Unfamiliar terrain may contain hidden rocks,
bumps, or holes that could cause loss of
control or rollover.
Travel slowly and use extra caution when
operating on unfamiliar terrain. Always be
alert to changing terrain conditions.
