CAUTION:
Driving to the top (crest) of a hill at full
speed can cause an accident. There could
be a drop-off, embankment, cliff, or even
another vehicle. You could be seriously
injured or killed. As you near the top of a
hill, slow down and stay alert.
Q:
What should I do if my vehicle stalls, or
is about to stall, and I cannot make it up
the hill?
A:
If this happens, there are some things you
should do, and there are some things you
must not do. First, here is what you
should do:
•
Push the brake pedal to stop the vehicle
and keep it from rolling backwards. Also, apply
the parking brake.
•
If the engine is still running, shift the
transmission to REVERSE (R), release the
parking brake, and slowly back down the hill in
REVERSE (R).
