Stalling on an Incline Driving across an incline that's too steep will make yourvehicle roll over. You could be seriously injured orkilled. If you have any doubt about thesteepness of the incline, don't drive across it. Find another route instead. What if I'm driving acrossan incline that's not too steep, butI hit some loose gravel and start to slide downhill. What shouldI do? If your vehicle stalls when you're crossing incline, be an sure you (and your passengers) get out on the uphill side, even if the door there is harder open. If you get to out on the downhill side and vehicle starts to roll the over, you'll be right its path. in If you have to walk down theslope, stay out of the path the vehicle will take it does roll over. if A: If you feel your vehicle starting to slide sideways, turn downhill. This should help straighten out the vehicle and prevent the side slipping. However, a much better way to prevent this is to get out and "walk the course" so you know what thesurhce is like before you drive it. 4-24
