OPERATION

Driving on a Sidehill (Sidehilling)

Driving on a sidehill is not recommended. Improper procedure could
cause loss of control or rollover. Avoid crossing the side of any hill
unless absolutely necessary.

If crossing a hill is unavoidable, follow these precautions:

1. Engage all-wheel drive.

2. Never operate in TURF mode (if equipped) while operating on a hill

or other irregular terrain. Always move the AWD switch to AWD
before ascending or descending a hill.

3. Drive slowly and use extreme caution.

4. If the vehicle begins to overturn, or if it feels as if it may overturn,

immediately turn downhill.

5. Avoid obstacles and changes in terrain that may lower or raise one

side of the vehicle or cause the vehicle to slide.

6. If the vehicle begins to slide downhill, immediately turn downhill to

stop the slide, or stop the vehicle and maneuver slowly and
carefully until the vehicle can be driven straight downhill.
