WARNING

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.

Driving Across an Incline

An off-road trail will probably go

across the incline of a hill. To decide

whether to try to drive across the

incline, consider the following:

injured or killed. If you have any

doubt about the steepness of the

incline, do not drive across it.

Find another route instead.

.

A hill that can be driven straight

up or down might be too steep to

drive across. When going

straight up or down a hill, the

length of the wheel base — the

distance from the front wheels to

the rear wheels — reduces the

likelihood the vehicle will tumble

end over end. But when driving

across an incline, the narrower

track width — the distance

between the left and right

wheels — might not prevent the

vehicle from tilting and rolling

over. Driving across an incline

puts more weight on the downhill

wheels which could cause a

downhill slide or a rollover.
