DRIVING DOWNHILL
When driving downhill, follow these precautions:
1. Always engage ADC mode (if equipped) before ascending or descending a
hill. If ADC mode is not equipped, apply AWD mode before ascending or
descending a hill.
2. Avoid steep hills. Maximum incline is: 15°
3. Avoid hills with slippery or loose surfaces.
4. Always descend a hill with the transmission in forward gear. Do not descend
a hill with the transmission in neutral.
5. Never drive downhill at high speed. Slow down.
6. Drive straight downhill. Avoid driving downhill at an angle, which can cause
the vehicle to pitch 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. Applying the brakes too firmly may
cause the rear wheels to lock, which could result in loss of control.
