Driving on a Sidehill (Sidehilling)
Driving on a sidehill is not recommended. Improper procedure could cause loss of control or rollover. Avoid crossing the side of any hill unless absolutely necessary.
If crossing a hill is unavoidable, follow these precautions:
- 
               
               
Engage all-wheel drive.
 - 
               
               
Never operate in TURF mode (if equipped) while operating on a hill or other irregular terrain. Always move the AWD switch to AWD before ascending or descending a hill.
 - 
               
               
Drive slowly and use extreme caution.
 - 
               
               
If the vehicle begins to roll over, or if it feels as if it may roll over, immediately turn downhill.
 - 
               
               
Avoid obstacles and changes in terrain that may lower or raise one side of the vehicle or cause the vehicle to slide.
 - 
               
               
If the vehicle begins to slide downhill, immediately turn downhill to stop the slide, or stop the vehicle and maneuver slowly and carefully until the vehicle can be driven straight downhill.
