12. DRIVING YOUR VEHICLE

BRAKING
Braking ability is affected by the type of terrain. In most cases, gradually
application of the brakes is more effective than abrupt braking,
particularly on loose surfaces like gravel. Always allow for greater
braking distance on rough, loose, or slippery surfaces.
GOING UPHILL
Do not attempt to climb hills until you have mastered basic maneuvers
on flat ground. Use proper driving techniques to avoid overturns on hills
and slopes. Drive straight up hills, and avoid crossing the side of a hill,
which increases your chance of rollover. Practice first on gentle
slopes before attempting steeper hills. Always check the terrain
carefully before attempting any hill. Use common sense and remember
that some hills are too steep for you to climb.
Choose carefully which hills you attempt to climb. Avoid hills with
slippery surfaces or ones where you will not be able to see far enough
ahead of you.
WARNING
POTENTIAL HAZARD
Operating on excessively steep hills.
WHAT CAN HAPPEN
The vehicle can overturn more easily on extremely steep hills than on
level surfaces or small hills.
