Hill
and
Mountain
Roads
Driving on steep hills or mountains
is
different from
driving in flat or rolling terrain.
If you drive regularly
in steep country,
or
if
you’re
planning to visit there, here are some tips that
can
make
your trips safer and more enjoyable.
Keep
your
vehicle in good shape. Check all fluid
levels and also
the
brakes, tires, cooling system and
transaxle. These
parts
can work hard on mountain
roads.
Know how to go down hills. The most important
thing
to
know is this: let your engine do some of the
slowing down. Shift to a lower gear when you go
down
a
steep or long
hill.
