OPERATION
Driving on a Sidehill (Sidehilling)
Avoid crossing the side of a hill (sidehilling) if possible. If sidehilling is
necessary, follow these precautions:
1. Slow down.
2. Do not cross a hillside with a passenger on board. Ask the passenger
to dismount and walk across the hillside before remounting the
vehicle.
3. Lean into the hill, transferring your upper body weight toward the
hill while keeping your feet on the footrests.
4. If the vehicle begins to tip, quickly turn the front wheel downhill, if
possible, or dismount on the uphill side immediately!
