Are there

hill?

Yes? These are important because if you ignore them you could lose

control and have a serious accident.

When driving downhill, avoid turns that take you across the incline of

the hill.

hill that’s not too steep to drive down may be too steep to

drive across. You could roll over if

you

don’t drive straight down.

Never go downhill with the transmission in NEUTRAL (N), or with the

clutch pedal depressed in a manual shift. This is called

“free-wheeling.” Your brakes will have to do all the work and could

overheat and fade.

It’s much more likely to happen going uphill. But if it happens going

downhill, here’s what to do.

Stop your vehicle by applying the regular brakes. Apply the parking

Driving Across an Incline

Sooner or later, an off-road trail will probably go across the incline of a hill.

If this happens,

you

have to decide whether to

try

drive across the incline.

Here are some things to consider:

A hill that can be driven straight

or down may be too steep to drive

across. When you

straight

down a hill, the length of the wheel

base (the distance from the front wheels to the rear wheels) reduces the

likelihood the vehicle will tumble end over end. But when

you

drive

across an incline, the much more narrow track width (the distance

between the left and right wheels) may not prevent the vehicle from

tilting and rolling over. Also, driving across

incline puts more

weight

the downhill wheels. This could cause a downhill slide or a

rollover.

Surface conditions can be a problem when you drive across a hill.

Loose graveI, muddy

spots,

even wet grass can cause your tires to

slip sideways, downhill.

the vehicle slips sideways,

can hit

something that will trip it (a rock,

rut,

etc.) and roll over.
