OPERATION

Driving Downhill

When driving downhill, follow these precautions:
1. Always move the 4X4 switch to ADC 4X4 (if equipped) before

ascending or descending a hill. See page 36.

2. Avoid steep hills (25

° maximum).

3. Shift body weight uphill.
4. Drive straight downhill.
5. Slow down. Excessive speed when traveling downhill can cause

loss of control.

6. Squeeze the brake lever gradually. Applying the brakes too firmly

may cause the rear wheels to lock, which could result in loss of con-

trol.
