Cadillac 2007 SRX Automobile User Manual


 
Sound the horn as you approach the top of
the hill to let opposing traffic know you are
there.
Use your headlamps, even during the day.
They make you more visible to oncoming
traffic.
{CAUTION:
Driving to the top (crest) of a hill at full
speed can cause an accident. There could
be a drop-off, embankment, cliff, or even
another vehicle. You could be seriously
injured or killed. As you near the top of a
hill, slow down and stay alert.
Q: What should I do if my vehicle stalls, or is
about to stall, and I cannot make it up
the hill?
A: If this happens, there are some things you
should do, and there are some things you
must not do. First, here is what you should do:
Push the brake pedal to stop the vehicle
and keep it from rolling backwards. Also, apply
the parking brake.
If your engine is still running, shift the
transmission to REVERSE (R), release the
parking brake, and slowly back down the hill in
REVERSE (R).
If your engine has stopped running, you will
need to restart it. With the brake pedal
pressed and the parking brake still applied,
shift the transmission to PARK (P) and restart
the engine. Then shift to REVERSE (R),
release the parking brake, and slowly back
down the hill as straight as possible in
REVERSE (R).
