Pontiac 2000 Bonneville Owner's Manual page 229

CAUTION:
Coasting downhill in NEUTRAL (N) or with the
ignition off is dangerous. Your brakes will have to
do all the work of slowing down. They could get
so hot that they wouldn't work well. You would
then have poor braking or even none going down
a hill. You could crash. Always have your engine
running and your vehicle in gear when you
go downhill.
D
Know how to go uphill. Drive in the highest
gear possible.
D
Stay in your own lane when driving on two
roads in hills or mountains. Don't swing wide or cut
across the center of the road. Drive at speeds that let
you stay in your own lane.
D
As you go over the top of a hill, be alert. There could
be something in your lane, like a stalled car or
an accident.
D
You may see highway signs on mountains that warn
of special problems. Examples are long grades,
-
passing or no passing zones, a falling rocks area or
winding roads. Be alert to these and take
appropriate action.
