Operating on Hills

WARNING

Unless the brake pedal is fully depressed or parking brake is engaged, the vehicle will roll freely on uphill and downhill terrain. Failure to control the forward or reverse roll of the vehicle could result in serious injury or death.

Unless the bakes are applied, the vehicle will roll freely when on a grade.

You may use the park brake to control backwards rolling of the vehicle in steep uphill scenarios to transition from stationary to propelling forward.

In these scenarios, engage the park brake while fully depressing the brake pedal. Then, remove your foot from the brake pedal and gradually disengage the park brake as you depress the accelerator to begin moving forward.
