TRAVERSING A SLOPE

Before crossing a slope always observe the

following precautions:

• Check that the ground is firm and not

slippery.

• Check that the wheels on the downhill side

of the vehicle are not likely to drop into

any depressions in the ground and that the

uphill wheels will not run over rocks, tree

roots, or similar obstacles that could

suddenly increase the angle of tilt.

• Ensure that passenger weight is evenly

distributed, that all roof rack luggage is

removed and that all other luggage is

properly secured and stowed as low as

possible. Always remember; any sudden

movement of the load could cause the

vehicle to overturn.

• Rear seat passengers should sit on the

uphill side of the vehicle or, in extreme

conditions, should vacate the vehicle until

the sloping ground has been safely

negotiated.

NEGOTIATING A ’V’ SHAPED GULLY

Observe extreme caution! Steering up either

of the gully walls could cause the side of the

vehicle to be trapped against the opposite

gully wall.

DRIVING IN EXISTING VEHICLE TRACKS

As far as possible, allow the vehicle to steer

itself along the bottom of the ruts. However,

always keep a tight hold of the steering wheel

to prevent it from spinning free.

Particularly in wet conditions, if the steering

wheel is allowed to spin free, the vehicle may

appear to be driving straight ahead in the ruts,

but in actual fact (due to the lack of traction

caused by wet ground) is unknowingly on full

right or left lock. Then, when level ground is

reached, or if a dry patch is encountered, the

wheels will find traction and cause the vehicle

to suddenly veer to the left or right.
