HillsChoose carefully which hills you attempt toclimb or descend. Avoid hills with slippery sur-faces or those where you will not be able tosee far enough ahead of you. Use commonsense and remember that some hills are toosteep for you to climb or descend. Use properdriving techniques to avoid rearward, forward,or sideways rollovers on hills and slopes.Drive straight up and down inclines, notacross them. If crossing a hill is unavoidable,drive slowly. Turn downhill immediately if youfeel the vehicle may tip.If you think or feel the Rhino may tip orroll: Brace yourself by pressing your feet firmlyUphillDo not attempt to climb hills until you havemastered basic maneuvers on flat ground.Drive straight up hills, and avoid crossing theside of a hill, which increases your risk of roll-over. Practice first on gentle slopes before at-tempting steeper hills. Always check theterrain carefully before attempting any hill.To climb a hill, you need traction, momentum,and steady throttle. For more traction andcontrol for climbing steeper and/or rougherslopes, shift into low gear and select 4WD or4WD Diff. Lock. Travel fast enough to main-tain momentum, but not so fast that you can-not react to changes in the terrain as youclimb.EE.book Page 19 Friday, August 3, 2007 11:59 AM
