Never operate in TURF mode while operating on a hill or other irregular terrain. 2. Avoid steep hills. Maximum incline is: • 15° (Touring/X2) • 25° (1-up Models) 3. Always check the terrain carefully before descending a hill. 4. Always descend a hill with the transmission in forward gear. Do not descend a hill with the transmission in neutral. 5. Slow down. Never travel down a hill at high speed. 6. Drive straight downhill. Avoid traveling down a hill at an angle, which would cause the vehicle to lean sharply to one side. 7. Shift body weight uphill. A passenger should also shift body weight uphill. 8. Apply the brakes slightly to aid in slowing.

Always move the 4X4 switch to ADC 4X4 (if equipped) before
ascending or descending a hill. See page 45.
