Stalling on an Incline

{ CAUTION:

Getting out on the downhill (low) side of a vehicle

stopped across an incline is dangerous. If the

vehicle rolls over, you could be crushed or killed.

Always get out on the uphill (high) side of the

vehicle and stay well clear of the rollover path.

If the vehicle stalls when crossing an incline, be sure

you, and any passengers, get out on the uphill side,

even if the door there is harder to open. If you get out

on the downhill side and the vehicle starts to roll over,

you will be right in its path.

If you have to walk down the slope, stay out of the path

the vehicle will take if it does roll over.

Driving in Mud, Sand, Snow, or Ice

When you drive in mud, snow, or sand, the wheels do

not get good traction. Acceleration is not as quick,

turning is more difficult, and braking distances are

longer.

It is best to use a low gear when in mud — the deeper

the mud, the lower the gear. In really deep mud,

keep the vehicle moving so it does not get stuck.

When driving on sand, wheel traction changes.

On loosely packed sand, such as on beaches or

sand dunes, the tires will tend to sink into the sand.

This affects steering, accelerating, and braking.

Drive at a reduced speed and avoid sharp turns or

abrupt maneuvers.

Hard packed snow and ice offer the worst tire traction.

On these surfaces, it is very easy to lose control.

On wet ice, for example, the traction is so poor that you

will have difficulty accelerating. And, if the vehicle

does get moving, poor steering and difficult braking can

cause it to slide out of control.

{ CAUTION:

Driving on frozen lakes, ponds, or rivers can be

dangerous. Underwater springs, currents under

the ice, or sudden thaws can weaken the ice.

Your vehicle could fall through the ice and you

and your passengers could drown. Drive your

vehicle on safe surfaces only.
