Stalling on an Incline

If your vehicle stalls when you’re crossing an incline, be

sure you (and your 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’ll 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.

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.

Driving in Mud, Sand, Snow or Ice

When you drive in mud, snow or sand, your wheels won’t

get good traction. You can’t accelerate as quickly, turning

is more difficult, and you’ll need longer braking distances.

It’s best to use a low gear when you’re in mud

-- the

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

idea is to keep your vehicle moving so you don’t get stuck.

When you drive on sand, you’ll sense a change in wheel

traction. But it will depend upon how loosely packed the

sand is. On loosely packed sand (as on beaches or sand

dunes) your tires will tend to sink into the sand. This has

an effect on steering, accelerating and braking. You may

want to reduce the air pressure in your tires slightly

when driving on sand. This will improve traction.
