DESCENDING STEEP SLOPES
WARNING
Failure to follow these instructions may cause
the vehicle to roll over.
• Stop the vehicle at least a vehicle length
before the start of the slope and apply the
parking brake. Engage first gear (‘1’) LOW
range and hill descent control.
• Unless it is necessary to stop the vehicle in
order to negotiate obstructions, DO NOT
touch the brake during the descent - the
engine and HDC will limit the speed, keeping
the vehicle under control provided the front
wheels are rotating. If the vehicle begins to
slide, the limits of adhesion have been
reached, and it may be impossible to
maintain the minimum speed relative to the
gear selected. In this case, HDC may
automatically accelerate the vehicle
sufficient to maintain directional stability.
DO NOT use the accelerator or the brakes or
attempt to change gear. HDC will
automatically slow the vehicle down again
as soon as possible.
• Once level ground is reached, select a
suitable gear for the next stage of your
journey.
TRAVERSING A SLOPE
WARNING
Failure to follow these instructions may cause
the vehicle to roll over.
Before crossing a slope ALWAYS observe the
following precautions:
• Check that the ground is firm and not
slippery.
• Check that the wheels on the downhill side
of the vehicle are not likely to drop into
depressions in the ground and that the
‘uphill’ wheels will not run over rocks, tree
roots, or similar obstacles that could
suddenly increase the angle of tilt.
• Ensure that passenger weight is evenly
distributed, that all roof rack luggage is
removed and that all other luggage is
properly secured and stowed as low as
possible. Always remember, any sudden
movement of the load could cause the
vehicle to overturn.
• Where possible, rear seat passengers
should sit on the uphill side of the vehicle or,
in extreme conditions, should vacate the
vehicle until the sloping ground has been
safely negotiated.
