Driving downhill

Always drive downhill at low speed and with great caution.
Note that the distance required to stop will increase when driving
downhill.
Avoid braking suddenly and sudden evasive maneuvers and never
drive so fast that you are unable to control the wheelchair safely and
without risk.
WARNING!
Risk of tipping on uneven surfaces
Take great care when driving on side slopes with an uneven surface (e.g.
grass, gravel, sand and snow).
