DRIVING UPHILL

1. Avoid excessively steep hills.
2. ADC Models: Always operate in low gear and engage ADC 4X4 before
ascending or descending a hill.
3. Always travel straight uphill.
4. Keep both feet on the floor.
5. Always check the terrain carefully before ascending any hill. Never climb hills
with excessively slippery or loose surfaces.

throttle suddenly.
7. Never go over the crest of a hill at high speed. An obstacle, a sharp drop, or
another vehicle or person could be on the other side of the hill.
DRIVING ON A SIDEHILL

of control or rollover. Avoid crossing the side of any hill unless absolutely
necessary.
If crossing a sidehill is unavoidable, follow these precautions:

3. If the vehicle begins to roll over, or if it feels as if it may roll over, immediately
turn downhill.
4. Avoid obstacles and changes in terrain that may lower or raise one side of
the vehicle or cause the vehicle to slide.
5. 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.
