Driving across a hilltop
Driving downhill
Driving through water
Decelerate just ahead of a hilltop (do not
select gear range N), to prevent the vehi-
cle from speeding up too much after climb-
ing a hill.
ț
Select gear range 1 on the automatic
transmission (୴ page 142).
ț
Drive downhill observing the same
rules as driving uphill (୴ page 216).
Use the momentum of the vehicle to drive
across the hilltop.
!
Only apply the service brake if the vehi-
cle is traveling straight downhill, i.e. in
the line of gravity.
After climbing a hill, driving in this manner
prevents the vehicle from:

Before driving through water, deter-
mine its depth.
The special LOW RANGE – ABS setting
allows for precise and brief (cyclical)
blocking of the front wheels, permitting
them to dig into loose ground.
speeding up too much after climbing
the hill
It should not be deeper than approxi-
mately 19 in (48 cm).
Make sure you check the water bed.
The ground surface may not be firm
which may result in deeper waters than
expected when driving the vehicle
through it.
Remember that, when stopped, the
front wheels slide across a surface and
thus lose their ability to steer the vehi-
cle.
