Descending Hills
Slow down or stop at th
etopofahillsoyoucan
pick a straight, safe path for des cent to avoid any ob-
stacles. Normally you should descend straight down
a hill since driving a
t an angle could cause the vehi-
cle to lean to one side and possibly tip over. Proceed
slowly and cautiously. Apply the brake as necessary.
Be careful if the su
rface is loose because the tires
are more likely to skid and braking effectiveness will
be reduced.
Turning while desc
ending a slope must be done
very carefully and gradually to avoid tipping the ve-
hicle over.
WARNING
Riding sideways across a hill may cause the
vehicle to overturn, causing severe injury or
death. Do not turn sideways to the hill.
Remember
Stop and look fo
r obstacles before descending a
hill.
Go straight downhill.
Go slowly.
If you m ust turn, do so carefully and gradu ally.
NOTE
When the throttle pedal is released completely and
the engine speed drops near an idle, the vehicle
has no engine braking. This is caused by the ve-
hicle’s automatic transmission which releases the
engine a t very low spee d to pre v e nt it f ro m stalling.
Use the brakes to control the vehicle’s speed.
