If you get stuck while driving up a slope
Never try to turn around.
If your engine stalls, apply the foot break and restart the engine.
Shift into reverse and back your vehicle carefully straight down the slope.
Use the brake to keep the speed steady when backing down to a safe place.
Driving down a slope
There is an increased risk of rollover when driving down a slope. For this reason, concentrate on
steering safely down the slope.
Drive down steep slopes in first gear.
Gently apply the foot brake to help keep the vehicle under control.
Never exceed the vehicle's maximum lateral angle (vehicle slope).
If it is possible and if it is not dangerous, drive straight down the fall line (maximum slope).
Use the off-road display ⇒Offroad display and Hill Descent Control ⇒Hill Descent Control on
steep descents.
WARNING
Never try to drive up or down slopes that are too steep for your vehicle. The vehicle could slide
away, tip over, or roll over.
Never take routes or risks that could put you or your passengers in danger. If you cannot go on
or have doubts about the safety of your route, turn back and take a new route.
The lateral angle must never be more than the maximum angle approved for the vehicle.
Always drive along the fall line when driving up or down a slope.
Never try to turn the vehicle around on a slope. The vehicle could tip over or roll down the
slope.
If the engine stalls or you can no longer drive up the slope for any reason, stop and apply the
foot brake. If stalled, apply the foot brake and restart the engine. Then shift into Reverse (R)
and carefully back your vehicle straight down the slope along the fall line. Keep the vehicle
speed slow and even.
If the engine will not restart, apply constant pressure to the foot brake and carefully back
straight down the slope the same way you drove up. Keep the vehicle speed slow and even.
