{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 transmission, 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.
