Q: What should I do if my vehicle stalls, or is

about to stall, and I can’t make it up the hill?

A: If this happens, there are some things you should

do, and there are some things you must not do.

First, here’s what you should do:

Push the brake pedal to stop the vehicle and

keep it from rolling backwards. Also, apply the

parking brake.

If your engine is still running, shift the transmission

to REVERSE (R), release the parking brake, and

slowly back down the hill in REVERSE (R).

If your engine has stopped running, you’ll need

to restart it. With the brake pedal pressed and the

parking brake still applied, shift the transmission to

PARK (P) (or, shift to neutral if your vehicle has a

manual transmission) and restart the engine. Then,

shift to REVERSE (R), release the parking brake,

and slowly back down the hill as straight as possible

in REVERSE (R).

As you are backing down the hill, put your left hand

on the steering wheel at the 12 o’clock position.

This way, you’ll be able to tell if your wheels are

straight and maneuver as you back down. It’s best

that you back down the hill with your wheels straight

rather than in the left or right direction. Turning the

wheel too far to the left or right will increase the

possibility of a rollover.

Here are some things you must not do if you stall, or are

about to stall, when going up a hill.

Never attempt to prevent a stall by shifting into

NEUTRAL (N) (or pressing the clutch, if you have

a manual transmission) to “rev

-up” the engine

and regain forward momentum. This won’t work.

Your vehicle will roll backwards very quickly and

you could go out of control.

Instead, apply the regular brake to stop the

vehicle. Then apply the parking brake. Shift to

REVERSE (R), release the parking brake, and

slowly back straight down.

Never attempt to turn around if you are about to

stall when going up a hill. If the hill is steep enough

to stall your vehicle, it’s steep enough to cause you

to roll over if you turn around. If you can’t make it

up the hill, you must back straight down the hill.
