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 31.

2. Avoid hills with slippery or

loose surfaces.

3. Never drive downhill at high

speed. Slow down.

4. Drive straight downhill.

Avoid driving downhill at an
angle, which can cause the
vehicle to pitch sharply to one side.

5. Shift your weight rearward.

6. Apply the brakes slightly to aid in slowing.

Always follow the procedures

outlined in this manual for driving

downhill and for braking on hills.

Never operate at excessive speeds.

Travel and turn at speeds

appropriate for the terrain, visibility,

operating conditions and your

experience.
