Suppose, after stalling,
I
try to back down
the hill and decide
I
just can’t do it. What
should
I
do?
A:
Set the parking brake, put your transmission
in
PARK
(P)
(or
the manual transmission
in
FIRST
(1
))
and turn
off
the engine. Leave the
vehicle and
go
get some help.
Exit
on
the uphill
side and stay clear
of
the path the vehicle would
take
if
it
rolled downhill.
Do
not shift the transfer
case
to
NEUTRAL
(N)
when
you
leave the vehicle.
Leave it
in
some gear.

If
you have a manual transfer case shift lever,
shifting the transfer case to NEUTRAL
(N)
can
cause your vehicle to roll even if the transmission
is in
PARK
(P)
(or,
if
you have the manual
transmission, even
if
you’re in gear). This is
because the NEUTRAL
(N)
position on the
transfer case overrides the transmission. If you
are going to leave your vehicle, set the parking
brake and shift the transmission to PARK
(P)
(or, put your manual transmission in FIRST
(1)).
But
do
not shift the transfer case to the
NEUTRAL
(N)
position. Leave the transfer
case in the 2HI,4HI or 4LO position.
