OPERATION

Driving Downhill

When driving downhill, follow these precautions:
1. Always move the 4X4 switch to ADC 4X4 before ascending or

descending a hill. See page 30.

2. Avoid steep hills (25

° maximum).

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 your weight rearward.
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.
