Q.'
S.uppose, after.stalling,
I try
to back down the
hiIl
and decide I just can't do
it. What
should
I do?
A:
Set
the.
parking brake, put your trammission
in PAW (P) (or the manual transmission in
FIRST (1)) and turn-off the engine. Leave the
vehicle and go get-.some help. Exit on the uphill
side.
md
stay cl&xr of the path the vehicle would
take if it rolled downhill. Do not shift.the transfer
case
to
NEUTRAL
(N) when you leave the vehicle.
Leave it
in
some gear.
If you have- a manual transfer case shtft lever,
shifting the transfer case to NEUTRAL (N) can
cause your vehicle to roll. even
if the transmission
is
m
PARK (P) (or,
if you have the manual
transmission, even if you're in gear). This is
~
because the NEUTRAL (N) position on the
transfer case overrides the transmission. I f you
are going to leave your vehicle, set the parking
brake and shift the transmission to- PARK
(P)
(or,
put your manual transmission in FIRST
(1)).
But do not shift the transfer case to the
NEUTRAL (N) position. Leave the transfer
case in the ZHI, 4HI
DI"
4LO position.
