WARNING
Getting out of a vehicle that is standing on a slope and tilted at a large sideways angle is dangerous. The overall centre of gravity can
move to the side and the vehicle can lose its grip, tip over or roll over and roll down the slope. This can cause accidents and serious or
fatal injuries.
● Avoid abrupt and uncontrolled movements in the vehicle.
● Always leave the vehicle calmly by the doors that are facing up the slope → Fig. 2.
● Never leave the vehicle through a door that is facing down the slope.
● When getting out the vehicle, make sure that the vehicle door which opens uphill does not close with its own weight or through
carelessness thus potentially causing injury.
1. Check whether the slope and tilt angles are small enough to drive through the ditch with the vehicle. The tilt angle must not get
too large when driving through the ditch →
2. Find a suitable place to cross the ditch.
3. If possible, cross the ditch at an acute angle →
.
.
WARNING
If the slope and tilt angle are too steep for the vehicle or the ditch is too deep, the vehicle may tip, slide and roll over. This can cause
accidents and serious or fatal injuries.
● Never drive through a ditch if the slope and tilt angle are too steep for the vehicle and the ditch is too deep.
NOTICE
If you drive into the ditch at a right angle, the front wheels will fall in. The vehicle can bottom on the ground, be damaged and break
down.
● Never drive through a ditch if the slope and tilt angle are too steep for the vehicle and the ditch is too deep.
● Please note that it is almost impossible to get out of the ditch despite having all-wheel drive.
