Driving Downhill
Whenever driving down a hill, follow these precautions:
- 
               
               
Avoid excessively steep hills (15° maximum).
 - 
               
               
Slow down. Never travel down a hill at high speed.
 - 
               
               
Always check the terrain carefully before driving down a hill. Never drive on hills with excessively slippery or loose surfaces.
 - 
               
               
Always drive down a hill with the transmission in forward gear. Never “coast” or drive down a hill with the transmission in neutral.
 - 
               
               
Avoid driving down a hill at an angle, which would cause the vehicle to lean sharply to one side. Always drive straight downhill.
 - 
               
               
Apply the brakes lightly to keep speed slow.
