OPERATION
Driving Downhill
When driving downhill, follow these precautions:
1. Always move the AWD switch to ADC AWD before ascending or
descending a hill. See page 33.
2. Avoid steep hills. Maximum incline is 15°.
3. Avoid hills with slippery or loose surfaces.
4. Never drive downhill at high speed. Slow down.
5. Drive straight downhill. Avoid driving downhill at an angle, which
can cause the vehicle to pitch sharply to one side.
6. Shift body weight uphill. A passenger should also shift body weight
uphill.
7. Apply the brakes slightly to aid in slowing.
Always follow the procedures outlined in this manual for driving downhill and for
braking on hills.
15° Maximum
