Driving Downhill
         
         Whenever descending a hill, follow these precautions:
- 
               
               
Avoid excessively steep hills.
 - 
               
               
Slow down. Never travel down a hill at high speed.
 - 
               
               
Always check the terrain carefully before descending a hill. Never drive on hills with excessively slippery or loose surfaces.
 - 
               
               
Always descend a hill with the transmission in forward gear. Never descend a hill with the transmission in neutral.
 - 
               
               
Avoid traveling down a hill at an angle, which would cause the vehicle to lean sharply to one side. Travel straight downhill.
 - 
               
               
Apply the brakes lightly to aid in slowing.
