Hill and Mountain Roads

Driving on steep hills or through mountains is different

than driving on ﬂat or rolling terrain. Tips for driving

in these conditions include:

• Keep your vehicle serviced and in good shape.

• Check all ﬂuid levels and brakes, tires, cooling

system, and transmission.

• Going down steep or long hills, shift to a lower gear.

{CAUTION:

If you do not shift down, the 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 the engine assist the brakes on a steep

downhill slope.

{CAUTION:

Coasting downhill in NEUTRAL (N) or with the

ignition off is dangerous. The brakes will have

to do all the work of slowing down and they

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.

Always have the engine running and your

vehicle in gear when you go downhill.

• Stay in your own lane. Do not swing wide or cut

across the center of the road. Drive at speeds

that let you stay in your own lane.

• Top of hills: Be alert — something could be in your

lane (stalled car, accident).

• Pay attention to special road signs (falling rocks

area, winding roads, long grades, passing or

no-passing zones) and take appropriate action.

See Off-Road Driving on page 4-12 for information

about driving off-road.
