vehicle when driving through water. When

Hill and Mountain Roads
Driving on steep hills or through mountains
is different than driving on flat or rolling

system, and electric drive unit.
.
Keep the vehicle in gear when going
down steep or long hills.

Warning
Coasting downhill in N (Neutral) or with
the vehicle turned off is dangerous. The
brakes will have to do all the work of
slowing down the vehicle and could
become too hot. Hot brakes may not be
able to slow the vehicle enough to
maintain speed and control. You could
crash. Always have the vehicle running
and in gear when going downhill. This
will allow the electric drive unit to assist
in slowing and maintaining speed.
. Drive at speeds to keep the vehicle in its
own lane. Do not swing wide or cross the
center line.
. Be alert on top of hills. Something could
be in your lane (e.g., stalled car, crash).
. Pay attention to special road signs (e.g.,
falling rocks area, winding roads, long
grades, passing or no-passing zones) and
take appropriate action.
Winter Driving
Driving on Snow or Ice
Caution
To avoid damage to the wheels and
brake components, always clear snow and
ice from inside the wheels and
underneath the vehicle before driving.
Snow or ice between the tires and the road
creates less traction or grip, so drive
carefully. Wet ice can occur at about 0 °C
(32 °F) when freezing rain begins to fall.
Avoid driving on wet ice or in freezing rain
until roads can be treated.
For Slippery Road Driving:
. Recommend turning off One-Pedal Driving
in slippery conditions.
. Accelerate gently. Accelerating too quickly
causes the wheels to spin and makes the
surface under the tires slick.
. Turn on the Traction Control
System (TCS).
. The Antilock Brake System (ABS) improves
vehicle stability during hard stops, but
the brakes should be applied sooner than
when on dry pavement.
