MOUNTAIN DRIVING

Special techniques must be used when driving
in mountainous or hilly country.
Climbing A Hill
The transmission will automatically
downshift as needed to climb most hills. If the
hill is long or very steep, however, you may need
to manually shift to a lower gear to keep the
transmission from repeatedly upshifting and
downshifting. Select the lowest adequate gear
range for the duration of the incline. See your
chassis manual for specific information.
Descending A Hill
When going down a long grade, you may need
to manually shift to a lower gear rather than
keeping your foot on the brake pedal. A lower
gear will allow the engine to provide a degree of
braking action. Holding your foot on the brake
pedal for an extended period may cause brakes to
overheat, which could cause brake failure. See
your chassis manual for specific information.

NOTE: Workhorse chassis 20,700 GVWR or
higher should use grade brake in
mountain driving.
