DRIVING DOWNHILL
When driving downhill, follow these precautions:
• Avoid excessively steep hills.
• ADC Models: Always operate in low gear and engage ADC 4X4 before
ascending or descending a hill.
• Drive straight downhill. Avoid descending a hill at an angle, which would
cause the vehicle to lean sharply to one side. Travel straight downhill when
possible.
• Slow down.
• Apply the brakes slightly to aid in slowing.
ACTIVE DESCENT CONTROL (ADC) SYSTEM (IF
EQUIPPED)
The ADC system allows engine braking to all four wheels when the vehicle
descends a hill or incline. The ADC system is automatically engaged when the
transmission is in gear (high, low or reverse). The ADC system automatically
disengages when the transmission is shifted to neutral or park.
DRIVING ON A SIDEHILL (SIDEHILLING)
Driving on a sidehill is not recommended. Improper procedure could cause loss
of control or rollover. Avoid crossing the side of any hill unless absolutely
necessary.
If crossing a sidehill is unavoidable, follow these precautions:
• Slow down.
• Exercise extreme caution.
• Avoid crossing the side of a steep hill.
• ADC Models: Always operate in low gear and engage ADC 4X4 before
ascending or descending a hill.
