Driving Techniques
DESCENDING STEEP SLOPES
• Once level ground is reached, select a
suitable gear for the next stage of your
journey.
H2521
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 engage first
gear (‘1’, for automatic transmission) LOW
range and hill descent control.
•
Unless it is necessary to stop the vehicle in
order to negotiate obstructions, DO NOT
touch the brake or clutch pedals during the
descent - the engine and HDC will limit the
speed, keeping the vehicle under perfect
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.
