Driving on slopes: When going uphill, downshift in advance to ensure sufficient power and prevent the vehicle from rolling backward; when going downhill, never coast in neutral. Use a low gear, utilize engine braking, and apply intermittent braking. When heavily loaded, the water spray system can also be used for cooling.

 

Driving in rain, snow, or fog: In these adverse weather conditions, reduce your speed by half and double your following distance. Avoid sudden braking and sharp turns. In foggy conditions, turn on fog lights and hazard lights. If visibility is extremely low, pull over to the side of the road.

 

Handling emergencies: If the trailer swings, release the accelerator, grip the steering wheel firmly, and adjust after naturally slowing down; if the brakes fail, turn on the hazard lights, downshift gradually, slowly apply the handbrake, and look for an emergency escape lane; if a tire blows out, grip the steering wheel tightly, slowly release the accelerator, pull over to the side of the road at a low speed, and place a warning sign 150 meters behind the vehicle.
