•
Sound the horn as you approach the top
of the hill to let opposing traffic know you
are there.
•
Use your headlamps even during the day.
They make your vehicle more visible to
oncoming traffic.
CAUTION:
{
Driving to the top (crest) of a hill at full
speed can cause an accident. There could
be a drop-off, embankment, cliff, or even
another vehicle. You could be seriously
injured or killed. As you near the top
of a hill, slow down and stay alert.

Q:
What should I do if my vehicle stalls,
or is about to stall, and I cannot make
it up the hill?
A:
If this happens, there are some things you
should do, and there are some things you
must not do. First, here is what you should do:
•
Push the brake pedal to stop the vehicle
and keep it from rolling backwards. Also,
apply the parking brake.
•
If your engine is still running, shift the
transmission to REVERSE (R), release the
parking brake, and slowly back down the
hill in REVERSE (R).
•
If your engine has stopped running, you will
need to restart it. With the brake pedal
pressed and the parking brake still applied,
shift the transmission to PARK (P), or shift
to NEUTRAL if your vehicle has a manual
transmission, and restart the engine. Then,
shift to REVERSE (R), release the parking
brake, and slowly back down the hill as
straight as possible in REVERSE (R).
