DESCENDING STEEP SLOPES
A. Stop the vehicle at least a vehicle length
before the slope and engage first gear
LOW range with the differential locked.
B. Unless it is necessary to stop the vehicle
in order to negotiate obstructions, DO NOT
touch the brake or clutch pedals during
the descent - the engine will limit the
speed, keeping the vehicle under control
provided the front wheels are turning. If
the vehicle begins to slide, accelerate
gently to maintain directional stability - DO
NOT use the brakes or attempt to change
gear.
C. Once level ground is reached, unlock the
differential and select a suitable gear for
the next stage of your journey.
WARNING
Failure to follow these instructions may
cause the vehicle to roll over.
