Driving Safely

Turning Around on a Hill

If the vehicle stalls while climbing a hill, never back it down the hill! One maneuver that can

be used when it's necessary to turn around while climbing a hill is the K-turn:
1. Stop and lock the parking brake while maintaining body weight uphill.
2. Shift the transmission to neutral.
3. Shut off the engine.
4. Dismount on the uphill side of the vehicle, or on the left if the vehicle is pointing straight

uphill.

WARNING

Improper hill climbing procedures could cause loss of control or overturn and result in serious injury

or death.
Avoid climbing steep hills (15

maximum).

Use extreme caution when operating on hills, and follow proper operating procedures outlined in the

owner's manual.
