obstacles that may appear.
WARNING
POTENTIAL HAZARD
Going down a hill improperly.
WHAT CAN HAPPEN
Could cause loss of control or cause the vehicle to overturn.
HOW TO AVOID THE HAZARD
Always check the terrain carefully before you start down any hill. Never
go down a hill at high speed. Avoid going down a hill at an angle that
would cause the vehicle to lean sharply to one side.
Go straight down the hill where possible.
Before starting down hill, make sure the vehicle is in low-range 4WD
( 4WD modle). Go as slowly as possible. If you are starting to go too
fast, apply the brakes gently. Avoid sudden application of the brakes,
which could cause the vehicle to start sliding. If you are sliding or
skidding, try to steer in the direction the vehicle is sliding to help you
regain control. If you must turn on the hill to avoid an obstacle, do so
slowly and carefully. If the vehicle starts to tip, gradually steer in the
downhill direction if there are no obstacles in your path. As you regain
proper balance, gradually steer again in the direction you want to go.
WARNING

stopped moving.

conditions increase the risk of tip over.
If you are in a situation where the vehicle is tipping over, do not put your
