Your
Driving and
the
Road
Ease up on your speed as you
approach the top
of
the hill.
Attach a flag to the vehicle to make
you more visible to approaching
traffic on trails or hills.
Sound the horn as you approach the
top of the hill to let opposing traffic
know
you’re there.
Use your headlights even during the
day. They make you more visible to
oncoming traffic.

I
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 into reverse, release
the parking brake, and slowly back
down the hill in reverse.
