• Are there hidden surface obstacles? Ruts? Logs?

Boulders?

• What is at the bottom of the hill? Is there a hidden

creek bank or even a river bottom with large rocks?

If you decide you can go down a hill safely, try to keep

the vehicle headed straight down. Use a low gear so

engine drag can help the brakes so they do not have to

do all the work. Descend slowly, keeping the vehicle

under control at all times.

{ CAUTION:

Heavy braking when going down a hill can cause

your brakes to overheat and fade. This could cause

loss of control and a serious accident. Apply the

brakes lightly when descending a hill and use a low

gear to keep vehicle speed under control.

Things not to do when driving down a hill:

• When driving downhill, avoid turns that take you

across the incline of the hill. A hill that is not too

steep to drive down might be too steep to drive

across. The vehicle could roll over.

• Never go downhill with the transmission in

N (Neutral), called free-wheeling. The brakes will

have to do all the work and could overheat and fade.

Vehicles are much more likely to stall when going uphill,

but if it happens when going downhill:

1. Stop the vehicle by applying the regular brakes and

apply the parking brake.

2. Shift to P (Park) and, while still braking, restart the

engine.

3. Shift back to a low gear, release the parking brake,

and drive straight down.

4. If the engine will not start, get out and get help.
