Before
driving down a hill, as
wit
h driving up a hill, you need to
evaluate whether you can
make it safely to the bottom and away
from the slope. Ask:
Is the hill too steep to maintainspeed
and steering control?
Is the surface too rough or too slippery?
Ca
n you drive straight down
withou
t turning?
Is there a safe exit when you
reach
the bottom of the hill? If you decide you can safely
descend a hill:
Shift
into a low gear. This lets
engine compression (or engine
braking) help control speed and keep your brakes from
overheating.
Hol
d the steering wheel firmly
and
drive straight down the
hill.
Gentl
y apply the brakes to help
control speed, but do not "ride"
the brakes. If you smell hotbrakes
or feel brake fade, shift
to a lower gear or stop and let the
brakes cool down.
Try not to brake hard. If you do apply
the brakes hard, do not
pump
the brake pedal. Pumping
does
not allow the anti-lock
brake system to work as
