If you don't know the answers to
these questions before beginning
an ascent, stop, walk up the hill
and find out.

If you decide that it is safe to drive up a hill:
Selec

t a suitable low gear and
firmly grip the steering wheel. Approach
the hill with enough
speed to smoothly start up the
hill.
Maintain a steady speed as you
climb the hill.
Reduce

speed as you approach
the

top, and watch for other
vehicle

s that may be
approaching

the top from the
other

side of the hill.

// You Stall Going Up a Hill
If a hill is steeper than you
expected,

traction is poorer,
or you don't maintain sufficient speed,
you may begin to stall. If
that happens:
Consider downshifting if you
are just beginning to slow
down. If you can't downshift, or if
downshifting
doesn't help, stop
the vehicle and set the parking
brake.
I

f you have passengers, you
may want to have them get out
and

move away from the
vehicle.
I

f you are headed
straight up
the hill, shif
t into reverse,
release the parking brake, and slowly back straight down the
hill,

using the brake pedal to
control

speed.
If you
are not headed straight
uphill or you don't feel
comfortable backing down,
don't. If the engine is still
running,
leave the parking
brake

on, shift to Park
(automatic transmission) or Off-Road Driving Information
