Driving and Operating

When driving on hills:

.

Use a low gear and keep a firm
grip on the steering wheel.

.

Maintain a slow speed.

.

When possible, drive straight up
or down the hill.

.

Slow down when approaching
the top of the hill.

.

Use headlamps even during the
day to make the vehicle more
visible.

{

Warning

Driving to the top of a hill at high
speed can cause a crash. There
could be a drop-off, embankment,
cliff, or even another vehicle. You
could be seriously injured or
killed. As you near the top of a
hill, slow down and stay alert.

.

Never go downhill forward or
backward with the transmission
in N (Neutral). The brakes could
overheat and you could lose
control.

.

When driving down a hill, keep
the vehicle headed straight
down. Use a low gear because
the engine will work with the
brakes to slow the vehicle and
help keep the vehicle under
control.

{

Warning

Heavy braking when going down
a hill can cause your brakes to
overheat and fade. This could
cause loss of control and you or
others could be injured or killed.
Apply the brakes lightly when
descending a hill and use a low
gear to keep vehicle speed under
control.

If the vehicle stalls on a hill:

1. Apply the brakes to stop the

vehicle, and then apply the
parking brake.

2. Shift into P (Park) and then

restart the engine.

.

If driving uphill when the
vehicle stalls, shift to
R (Reverse), release the
parking brake, and back
straight down.

.

Never try to turn the vehicle
around. If the hill is steep
enough to stall the vehicle,
it is steep enough to cause
it to roll over.

.

If you cannot make it up the
hill, back straight down
the hill.

.

Never back down a hill in
N (Neutral) using only the
brake.

.

The vehicle can roll
backward quickly and you
could lose control.

.

If driving downhill when the
vehicle stalls, shift to a
lower gear, release the
parking brake, and drive
straight down the hill.
