Stalling While Climbing a Hill
Stalling or rolling backwards while climbing a hill could cause a rollover. Maintain a steady speed when climbing a hill.
If you lose all forward speed:
Apply the brakes gradually until the vehicle is fully stopped. Place the transmission in reverse and slowly allow the vehicle to roll straight downhill while applying light brake pressure to control speed.
If you begin rolling downhill:
Never apply engine power. Apply the brakes gradually until the vehicle is fully stopped. Place the transmission in reverse and slowly allow the vehicle to roll straight downhill while applying light brake pressure to control speed.
