SAFE OPERATION 95 Climbing Hills Do not attempt to climb hills or steep inclines until you have mastered the controls and basic operating maneuvers of this vehicle. Always go straight uphill and, if the incline is steep and/or the surface is loose, use "4WD" with the differential locked for greater traction, and in low range for maximum torque. Avoid hills with slippery sides that will cause you to lose traction. Do not climb hills where you cannot see far enough ahead. If you cannot see what is on the other side of the crest of a hill, slow down until you can get a clear view. Don't apply power suddenly while climbing, or the front wheels might rise off the ground. If the vehicle does not have enough power to reach the top of the hill and stalls, allow the vehicle to roll slowly straight back down the hill controlling its descent with the brakes. Leave the gear shift lever in the "H" (High) or "L" (Low) position until you stop at the bottom of the hill. Remember: żSome hills are too steep. Use common sense. żNever drive past your limit of visibility. If you can't see what is on the other side of the crest of a hill, slow down until you can get a clear view. żDon't turn sideways to the hill. żIf you get stuck on a hill, roll slowly straight back down, using the brake, with the gear shift lever left in the "H" (High) or "L" (Low) position. NOTE j żWhen the throttle pedal is released completely and the engine speed drops near an idle, the vehicle has no engine braking. This is caused by the vehicle's automatic transmission which releases the engine at very low speed to prevent it from stalling. Use the brakes to control the vehicle's speed. WARNING Riding sideways across a hill may cause the vehicle to overturn, causing severe injury or death. Do not turn sideways to the hill.
