OPERATION
Driving Uphill
Whenever traveling uphill, follow these precautions:
1. Always check the terrain carefully before ascending any hill. Never
drive on hills with excessively slippery or loose surfaces.
2. Never operate in TURF mode (if equipped) while operating on a hill
or other irregular terrain. Always move the AWD switch to AWD
before ascending or descending a hill.
3. Avoid excessively steep hills. If ascending a steeper grade is
unavoidable, engage all-wheel drive before ascending.
4. Drive straight uphill.
5. Proceed at a steady rate of speed and throttle opening. Never open
the throttle suddenly.
6. Avoid unnecessary changes in speed or direction.
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.
8. If the vehicle stalls while climbing a hill, apply the brakes. Place the
transmission in reverse and slowly allow the vehicle to roll straight
downhill while applying light brake pressure to control speed.
