Hill and Mountain Roads

Driving on steep hills or mountains is different
from driving in flat or rolling terrain.

If you drive regularly in steep country, or if you are
planning to visit there, here are some tips that
can make your trips safer and more enjoyable.
See

Off-Road Driving on page 299

for information

about driving off-road.

Keep your vehicle in good shape. Check all
fluid levels and also the brakes, tires, cooling
system, and transmission. These parts can
work hard on mountain roads.

{

CAUTION:

If you do not shift down, your brakes
could get so hot that they would not work
well. You would then have poor braking or
even none going down a hill. You could
crash. Shift down to let your engine assist
your brakes on a steep downhill slope.
