Q: Suppose, after stalling, I try to back down the
hill and decide I just cannot do it. What should
I do?
A: Set the parking brake, put your transmission in
PARK (P), or the manual transmission in FIRST (1),
and turn off the engine. Leave the vehicle and
go get some help. Exit on the uphill side and stay
clear of the path the vehicle would take if it
rolled downhill. Do not shift the transfer case to
NEUTRAL when you leave the vehicle. Leave it in
some gear.
{CAUTION:
Shifting the transfer case to NEUTRAL can
cause your vehicle to roll even if the
transmission is in PARK (P) (or, if you have
the manual transmission, even if you are in
gear). This is because the NEUTRAL position
on the transfer case overrides the
transmission. You or someone else could be
injured. If you are going to leave your vehicle,
set the parking brake and shift the
transmission to PARK (P) (or, put your manual
transmission in FIRST (1)). But do not shift the
transfer case to NEUTRAL. Leave the transfer
case in the Two-Wheel High, Four-Wheel High
or Four-Wheel Low position.
