Off-Road Driving CLIMBINGSTEEPSLOPES WARNING! Select 1st gear and engage hill descent control (HDC) - if fitted.DONOTattempttoreverse ALWAYSfollowthefallline of the slope - travelling diagonally coulddowntheslopewithoutthe cause the vehicle to slide broadside down the slope.engine running. If the surface is loose or slippery, use sufficient speed in the highest practical gear to take advantage of your vehicle’s momentum - hill descent control only operates in 1st and reverse gears, but ABS and traction control (where fitted) will still be operational when required. However,too high a speed over a bumpy surface may result in a wheel lifting, causing the vehicle to lose traction if traction control is not fitted. In this case try a slower approach. If the vehicle is unable to complete a climb, do not attempt to turn it around while on the slope. Instead, adopt the following procedure to reverse downhill to the foot of the slope. 1. Holdthe vehicle stationary using both foot and hand brakes. 2. Restart the engine if necessary. 3. Engagereversegearand HDC(if fitted). 4. Releasethe handbrake. Then release the foot brake and clutch simultaneouslyand allow the vehicle to reverse down the slope. 5. Unlessit is necessary to stop the vehicle to negotiate obstructions, DO NOT apply the brake or clutch pedal during the descent. 6. If HDC is not fitted or has not been selected and the vehicle begins to slide, accelerate slightly to allow the tyres to regain grip (on vehicles with HDC operating, acceleration is automatically controlled to ensure traction). Whenthevehicleis back on level ground or where traction can be regained, a faster approach will probably enable the hill to be climbed. However, DO NOT take unnecessaryrisks, if the hill is too difficult to climb, find an alternative route. 91
