Driving Uphill

Whenever traveling uphill, follow these precautions:

  1. Always check the terrain carefully before ascending a 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 move the AWD switch to AWD before ascending or descending a hill. See Unlocking the Differential/TURF Mode (LE Models Only) for details.

  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.
