Driving Downhill
When driving downhill, follow these precautions:
1. Avoid steep hills (25° maximum).
2. Avoid hills with excessively slippery or loose surfaces.
3. Shift body weight uphill.
4. Drive straight downhill.
5. Slow down. Never go down a hill at high speed.
6. Avoid going down a hill at an angle, which can cause the vehicle to
pitch sharply to one side.
7. Apply the brakes slightly to aid in slowing.
