CAUTION:

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.

CAUTION:

Coasting downhill in NEUTRAL (N) 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 transaxle, 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.

You may see highway signs on mountains that warn

of special problems. Examples are long grades,

passing or no-passing zones, a falling rocks area

or winding roads. Be alert to these and take

appropriate action.
