Driving Safely

Driving on a Sidehill (Sidehilling)

Sidehilling can be dangerous and should be avoided if at all possible. If

you encounter a situation where sidehilling is necessary, follow these

precautions:
1. Slow down.
2. Shift your weight uphill.
3. Keep your feet on the footrests.
4. Steer slightly into the hill to maintain vehicle direction.

NOTE:

If the vehicle begins to tip, quickly turn the front wheel downhill, if pos-

sible, or dismount on the uphill side immediately!

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.
