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.
Know how to
go
down hills. The most important
thing to know is this: let your engine do some of the
slowing down. Shft to a lower gear when you
go
down a steep or long hill.
If
you don’t shift down, your brakes could get
so
hot that they wouldn’t 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.

or
with the
ignition
off
is
dangerous. Your brakes will have
to do all the work
of
slowing down. They could
get
so
hot that they wouldn’t work well. You
would then have poor braking or even none going
down a hill. You could crash. Always have your
engine running and your vehicle in gear when
you go downhill.

Know how to go
uphill.
You may want to
shift
down
to a lower gear. The lower gears help cool your engine
and transmission, and you can climb the hill better.
Stay in your own lane when driving on two-lane
roads in hills or mountains. Don’t swing wide or cut
across the center of the road. Drive at speeds that let
you stay in your own lane.
As
you go over the top of a hill, be alert. There
could be something in your lane, like a stalled
car
or an accident.
