4. Dismount on the uphill side, or on the left side if the vehicle is pointed straight
uphill. Have a passenger dismount first, then the operator may dismount.
5. Use the K-turn to turn around. Details of this procedure can be found in the
Turning Around on a Hill section.
DRIVING DOWNHILL
When driving downhill, follow these
precautions:
1. Always move the 4X4 Switch to 4WDC before ascending or descending a
hill. See the All Wheel Drive System section for details.
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.
