Fig. 161 On a slope, always exit on the uphill side of the vehicle. ¤ Please first read and note the introductory information and heed the WARNINGS Driving crosswise on a slope is one of the most dangerous off-road driving situations ⇒ . Even if it seems harmless, never underestimate the difficulties and hazards when driving crosswise on a slope. A vehicle perpendicular to the slope of the hill can become uncontrollable and slide away, tip, or roll over. This could cause severe or fatal injuries to all occupants. Driving at an angle to the slope Before driving crosswise on a slope, check whether there is a different, safer route. If you have to drive across a slope, first make sure the ground is firm and even along your route. If the ground is soft or slippery, the vehicle is more likely to slip away to the side. Make sure that the angle does not become too great due to surface unevenness. This can make the vehicle tip and roll over. The steeper the slope across which the vehicle is moving, the more important it becomes to make sure the wheels on the lower side do not run over holes or depressions. The wheels on the high side must never run over protruding rocks, tree stumps, or other obstacles. If the vehicle threatens to tip, immediately steer downhill into the “fall line” and gently accelerate ⇒ fig. 160. If it is not possible to steer down the fall line, steer uphill and gently accelerate. The vehicle center of gravity should be as low as possible. The weight of all passengers should be evenly distributed. Taller or heavier passengers should sit on the higher side of the vehicle. Luggage on the roof should be removed and heavy objects should be secured, as the vehicle could tilt due to the sudden shifting of objects in the vehicle ⇒ . While driving across the slope, passengers on the rear bench should always sit on the uphill side of the vehicle. In extreme cases, passengers on the downhill side must get out of the vehicle until the hill has been safely crossed. Exiting on a hillside If the vehicle comes to a standstill at a significantly tilted angle on the hillside, all passengers should exit the vehicle on the uphill side ⇒ fig. 161. This applies even if the uphill door is hard to open. The uphill-side door may swing shut due to its weight or carelessness.
