Driving Downhill
When driving downhill, follow these precautions:
-
Avoid excessively steep hills.
-
Always descend a hill with the direction selector switch on forward. Never descend a hill with the switch on neutral.
-
Drive straight downhill. Avoid descending a hill at an angle, which would cause the vehicle to lean sharply to one side. Travel straight downhill when possible.
-
Slow down.
-
Apply the brakes slightly to aid in slowing.
