1 Uphill roads

On manual transmission vehicles or vehicles with

DUONIC system in manual shift mode, downshift

early if the vehicle speed begins to drop to minimize

the load on the engine.

2 Downhill roads

•

If you are going to drive down a steep road or a

road with a long downhill grade, test the service

brakes and exhaust brake in advance to make

sure that they are functioning well.

•

Place the vehicle in the gear used when driving

uphill and use engine braking and exhaust

brake to help slow the vehicle. Never drive

downhill at high speeds.

NOTE:

•

“Vapor lock” refers to the condition in which the

brake system overheats, causing the brake fluid

to boil and form bubbles that weaken hydraulic

pressure, resulting in poor braking.

•

“Fading” refers to the condition in which the

brake pads or brake linings overheat to the point

where friction is significantly reduced. This also

results in poor braking.

On uphill and downhill roads

WARNING

•

Never coast with the clutch disengaged or

the gearshift lever in the neutral position

(manual transmission vehicles) or the

gearshift lever in the “N” position (vehi-

cles with a DUONIC system). There would

be no engine braking and no exhaust brak-

ing, so there would be an excessive bur-

den on the service brakes.

•

Avoid overusing the service brakes as the

resultant overheating could cause unde-

sirable vapor lock and fading, both of

which contribute to poor braking.
