turn downhill. This should help straighten out the
vehicle and prevent the side slipping. However, a
much better way to prevent this is to get out and
"walk the course'' so you know what the surface is
like before you drive it.
Stalling on an Incline
If your vehicle stalls when you're crossing an incline, be
sure you (and your passengers) get out on the uphill
side, even if the door there is harder to open.
If
you get
out on the downhill side and the vehicle starts to roll
over, you'll be right in its path.
If you have to walk down the slope, stay
out of the path
the vehicle will take if it does roll over.
Getting out on the downhill (low) side of a vehicle
stopped across an incline is dangerous. If the
vehicle rolls over, you'could be crushed or killed.
Always get out on the uphill (high) side
of the
vehicle and stay well clear of the rollover path.
