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 hill 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

-passing zones, a falling rocks area or winding

roads. Be alert to these and take appropriate action.
