Whenever traveling uphill, follow these precautions: 1. Drive straight uphill. 2. Avoid steep hills (15° maximum). 3. Always check the terrain carefully before ascending any hill. 4. Never climb hills with excessively slippery or loose surfaces. 5. Keep both feet on the footrests. 6. Shift body weight uphill. A passenger should also shift body weight uphill. 7.
