Driving style
● Make sure that you drive directly down the incline in order to pre-
vent lateral sliding and rolling over.
● Using both the engine brake and brake pedal, descend while try-
ing to avoid wheel lock.
If it appears that the wheels will lock while the shift position is set to 1
range of S mode (automatic transmission) or 1 (manual transmis-
sion) and the engine brake is applied, depress the accelerator pedal
slightly and avoid allowing the wheels to lock.
● On vehicles with a manual transmission, do not operate the
clutch while driving downhill.
● If the vehicle slides, turn the wheel towards the base of the
incline.
● Use downhill assist control if equipped. (→P. 138)
