1. Avoid excessively steep hills.

2. Slow down. Never travel down a hill at high speed.

3. Always check the terrain carefully before descending a hill. Never drive on

hills with excessively slippery or loose surfaces.

4. Always descend a hill with the transmission in forward gear.

Never descend

a hill with the transmission in neutral

5. Avoid traveling down a hill at an angle, which would cause the vehicle to lean

sharply to one side. Travel straight downhill.

6. Apply the brakes

lightly

to aid in slowing.
