150 Driving and Operating

Never try to turn the vehicle

around. If the hill is steep

enough to stall the vehicle,

it is steep enough to cause

it to roll over.

If you cannot make it up the

hill, back straight down

the hill.

Never back down a hill in

N (Neutral) using only the

brake.

The vehicle can roll

backward quickly and you

could lose control.

If driving downhill when the

vehicle stalls, shift to a

lower gear, release the

parking brake, and drive

straight down the hill.

3. If the vehicle cannot be

restarted after stalling, set the

parking brake, shift an

automatic transmission into

P (Park), and turn the

vehicle off.

3.1. Leave the vehicle and

seek help.

3.2. Stay clear of the path the

vehicle would take if it

rolled downhill.

Avoid turns that take the vehicle

across the incline of the hill.

A hill that can be driven straight

up or down might be too steep to

drive across. Driving across an

incline puts more weight on the

downhill wheels which could

cause a downhill slide or a

rollover.

Surface conditions can be a

problem. Loose gravel, muddy

spots, or even wet grass can

cause the tires to slip sideways,

downhill. If the vehicle slips

sideways, it can hit something

that will trip it – a rock, a rut, etc.

– and roll over.

Hidden obstacles can make the

steepness of the incline more

severe. If a rock is driven across

with the uphill wheels, or if the

downhill wheels drop into a rut

or depression, the vehicle can tilt

even more.

If an incline must be driven

across, and the vehicle starts to

slide, turn downhill. This should

help straighten out the vehicle

and prevent the side slipping.

{

Warning

Getting out of the vehicle on the

downhill side when stopped

across an incline is dangerous.

If the vehicle rolls over, you could

be crushed or killed. Always get

out on the uphill side of the

vehicle and stay well clear of the

rollover path.

Driving in Mud, Sand, Snow,

or Ice

Use a low gear when driving in mud

– the deeper the mud, the lower the

gear. Keep the vehicle moving to

avoid getting stuck.

Traction changes when driving on

sand. On loose sand, such as on

beaches or sand dunes, the tires

tend to sink into the sand. This

affects steering, accelerating, and
