Avoid abrupt downshifts on icy or slippery roads be-

cause engine braking may cause skidding and loss of

control.

Hill Climbing

NOTE: Before attempting to climb a hill, determine the

conditions at the crest and/or on the other side.

Before climbing a steep hill, shift the transmission to a

lower gear and shift the 4WD System to 4WD LOW. Use

first gear and 4WD LOW for very steep hills.

If you stall or begin to lose headway while climbing a

steep hill, allow your vehicle to come to a stop and

immediately apply the brakes. Restart the engine and

shift to REVERSE. Back slowly down the hill allowing the

compression braking of the engine to help regulate your

speed. If the brakes are required to control vehicle speed,

apply them lightly and avoid locking or skidding the

tires.

WARNING!

If the engine stalls or you lose headway or cannot

make it to the top of a steep hill or grade, never

attempt to turn around. To do so may result in

tipping and rolling the vehicle. Always back straight

down a hill in REVERSE gear carefully. Never back

down a hill in NEUTRAL using only the brake.

Remember, never drive diagonally across a hill - drive

straight up or down.

If the wheels start to slip as you approach the crest of a

hill, ease off the accelerator and maintain headway by

turning the front wheels slowly left and right. This may

provide a fresh “bite” into the surface and will usually

provide traction to complete the climb.
