Suppose, after stalling, I try to back down the
hill and decide I just can't do it. What should
I do?
A:
Set the parking brake, put your transmission in
PARK (P) and turn off the engine. Leave the
vehicle and go get some help. Exit on the uphill
side and stay clear 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.

Shifting the transfer case to NEUTRAL (N) can
cause your vehicle to roll even if the transmission
is in PARK (P). This is because the
NEUTRAL (N) position on the transfer case
overrides the transmission. If you are going to
leave your vehicle, set the parking brake and
shift the transmission to PARK (P). But do not
shift the transfer case to the NEUTRAL (N)
position. Leave the transfer case in the 2 Wheel, 4
High or
4
Low position.
