Driving Downhill
When driving downhill, follow
these precautions:
1. Always move the 4X4 switch
to 4WDC before ascending or
descending a hill. See page
42.
2. Avoid steep hills. Maximum
incline is:
• 15° (2-Up Models)
• 25° (1-Up Models)
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 body weight uphill. A passenger should also shift body weight
uphill.
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.
