DRIVING TIPS
DRIVING IN HILLY TERRAIN
Driving in Hilly Terrain
Your driving technique in hilly terrain can
make a major difference to fuel
consumption.
Uphill
When approaching an uphill incline you
should try to maintain your speed and
allow the engine to use the truck's
pulling power at low revs to get you up
the hill. Release the accelerator pedal
just before you reach the summit and
coast over it. When you change gear, try
to drive according to the tachometer
instead of by engine noise.
Downhill
On downhill inclines you should try to
avoid accelerating, and instead allow the
truck to increase speed by coasting.
Regulate the downhill speed with the
truck's auxiliary brakes. Make it a habit
to completely remove your foot from the
accelerator pedal while you are
coasting. Use cruise control sparingly in
hilly terrain as excessive use may result
in increased fuel consumption.
Automatic Transmission
You can use the truck's "Kick-down"
function in order to obtain maximum
engine power for driving on a steep hill
for example. This will give you an
automatic downshift.
