Environmental Concerns
Always use established trails,
roads, and areas that have been
set aside for public off-road
recreational driving and obey all
posted regulations.
Do not damage shrubs, flowers,
trees, or grasses or disturb
wildlife.
Do not park over things that
burn. See Parking over Things
That Burn on page 9-29.
Driving on Hills
Driving safely on hills requires good
judgment and an understanding of
what the vehicle can and cannot do.
Warning
Many hills are simply too steep
for any vehicle. Driving up hills
can cause the vehicle to stall.
Driving down hills can cause loss
of control. Driving across hills can
cause a rollover. You could be
injured or killed. Do not drive on
steep hills.
Before driving on a hill, assess the
steepness, traction, and
obstructions. If the terrain ahead
cannot be seen, get out of the
vehicle and walk the hill before
driving further.
When driving on hills:
Use a low gear and keep a firm
grip on the steering wheel.
Maintain a slow speed.
When possible, drive straight up
or down the hill.
Slow down when approaching
the top of the hill.
Driving and Operating
Use headlamps even during the
day to make the vehicle more
visible.
Warning
Driving to the top of a hill at high
speed can cause an accident.
There could be a drop-off,
embankment, cliff, or even
another vehicle. You could be
seriously injured or killed. As you
near the top of a hill, slow down
and stay alert.
Never go downhill forward or
backward with either the
transmission or transfer case in
N (Neutral). The brakes could
overheat and you could lose
control.
