Driving Safely

Sidehilling

WARNING

Improperly crossing hills or turning on hills can result in loss of

control or vehicle overturn, resulting in severe injury or death.

Avoid crossing the side of a hill when possible. Follow proper

procedures as outlined in the owner’s manual.

Avoid crossing the side of a hill (sidehilling) if possible. If sidehilling

is necessary, follow these precautions:
1. Avoid hills with excessively slippery or loose surfaces.
2. Avoid crossing the sides of steep hills.
3. Slow down.
4. Shift your weight uphill.
5. Keep your feet on the footrests.
6. Steer slightly into the hill.

NOTE: If the vehicle begins to tip, quickly turn the front wheels

downhill (if possible) or dismount on the UPHILL side

immediately!
