The correct way to overcome obstacles
Ascending and descending
The same approach applies to both ascending and descending obstacles:
• Approach the obstacle or the kerb slowly and at a right angle.
• Stop shortly before the front wheels come into contact with the obstacle.
• Check the position of the front wheels. They must be in driving direction
and vertical to the obstacle!
• Approach slowly and keep at a consistent speed until the rear wheels have
also passed over the obstacle.
