Hill and Mountain
Roads
Driving on steep hills or mountains is different from
driving
in
flat or rolling terrain.
If
you drive regularly
in
steep country, or
if
you’re
planning to visit there, here are some tips that can make
your trips safer and more enjoyable.
Keep your vehicle
in
good shape. Check
all
fluid
levels and
also
the brakes, tire.s, cooling system and
transaxle. These parts can work hard on mountain
roads.
Know how to
go
down hills. The most important
thing to know
is
this: let your engine do
some
of the
slowing down. Shift to
a
lower gear when
you
go
down
a
steep or long
hill.
