{CAUTION:

If you do not shift down, your brakes

could get so hot that they would not 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

would not 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 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.

• 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. Do not 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.
