A
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
hdl
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.
