OPERATION Driving Uphill Whenever traveling uphill, follow these precautions: 1. Always check the terrain carefully before ascending any hill. Never drive on hills with excessively slippery or loose surfaces. 2. Never operate in TURF mode (if equipped) while operating on a hill or other irregular terrain. Always switch to AWD before ascending or descending a hill. 3. Avoid excessively steep hills. If ascending a steeper grade is unavoidable, engage all-wheel drive before ascending. 4. Drive straight uphill. 5. Proceed at a steady rate of speed and throttle opening. Never open the throttle suddenly. 6. Avoid unnecessary changes in speed or direction. 7. Never go over the crest of a hill at high speed. An obstacle, a sharp drop, or another vehicle or person could be on the other side of the hill. 8. If the vehicle stalls while climbing a hill, apply the brakes. Place the transmission in reverse and slowly allow the vehicle to roll straight downhill while applying light brake pressure to control speed. 54
