If you start to lose traction or momentum when going up a slope, and you decide you will be unable to continue, use the brakes to come to a stop. Do not attempt to turn the vehicle around. Instead, back down the hill as slowly as possible, gently applying the brakes when necessary. GOING DOWNHILL Check the terrain carefully before going down a slope. When possible, choose a path that lets you drive your vehicle straight downhill. Carefully choose your path and drive no faster than you will be able to react to obstacles that may appear. If you must turn to avoid an obstacle, do not turn at a sharp angle that could allow the vehicle to pitch or roll over. WARNING POTENTIAL HAZARD Going down a slope improperly. WHAT CAN HAPPEN Could cause loss of control or cause the vehicle to overturn. HOW TO AVOID THE HAZARD Always check the terrain carefully before you start down any slope. Never go down a slope at high speed. Avoid going down a slope at an angle that would cause the vehicle to lean sharply to one side. Go straight down the slope where possible. Go as slowly as possible. If you are starting to go too fast, apply the brakes gently. Avoid sudden application of the brakes, which could cause the vehicle to start sliding. If you start to slide or skid, try to steer in the direction the vehicle is sliding to help you regain control. 7-5

If you start to lose traction or momentum
when going up a slope, and you decide you
will be unable to continue, use the brakes to
come to a stop. Do not attempt to turn the ve-
hicle around. Instead, back down the hill as
slowly as possible, gently applying the brakes
when necessary.
GOING DOWNHILL
Check the terrain carefully before going down
a slope. When possible, choose a path that
lets you drive your vehicle straight downhill.
Carefully choose your path and drive no faster
than you will be able to react to obstacles that
may appear. If you must turn to avoid an ob-
stacle, do not turn at a sharp angle that could
allow the vehicle to pitch or roll over.
Go as slowly as possible. If you are starting to
go too fast, apply the brakes gently. Avoid
sudden application of the brakes, which could
cause the vehicle to start sliding.
If you start to slide or skid, try to steer in the di-
rection the vehicle is sliding to help you regain
control.
