If you decide you can
go
down a hill safely, then
try
to keep your vehicle
headed straight down, and use a low gear. This way, engine drag can help
your brakes and they won’t have to do all the work. Descend slowly,
keeping your vehicle under control at all times.
Q:
Are there some things
I
should not do when driving
down
a hill?
A:
Yes! These are important because
if
you ignore them you could lose
control and have a serious accident.

When driving downhill, avoid turns that take you across the incline
of
the
hill.
A
hill
that’s not too steep to drive down may be too steep to
drive across. You could roll over if you don’t drive straight down.
0
Never
go
downhill with the transmission in
“N’
(Neutral)
,
or with the
clutch pedal depressed in a manual shift
.
This
is
called
“free-wheeling.” Your brakes will have to do all the work and could
overheat and fade.
Q:
Am
1 likely to stall when going downhill?
A:
It’s much more likely to happen going uphill. But if it happens going
downhill, here’s what to do.
Stop your vehicle by applying the regular brakes. Apply the parking
brake.
Shift to
“P,’
(Park)
(or
to Neutral with the manual transmission) and,
while still braking, restart the engine.
Shift back to a low gear, release the parking brake, and drive straight
down.
If
the
engine won’t start, get out and get help.
