Driving on a Sidehill
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 sidehill is unavoidable, follow these precautions:
-
Engage all-wheel drive
-
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.
