If you start to lose traction or momentum
when climbing, and you decide you will be un-
able to continue, use the brakes to come to a
stop. Do not attempt to turn the vehicle
around. With your foot on the brake, look be-
hind you and plan your descent. Shift the
drive select lever in reverse so you can use
the engine brake if necessary to slow your de-
scent. Release the brake and begin to coast
down the hill. Use engine braking as much as
possible, gently applying the brakes when
necessary.
GOING DOWNHILL
Check the terrain carefully before going down
a hill. When possible, choose a path that lets
you drive your vehicle straight downhill. Avoid
sharp angles that could allow the vehicle to
pitch or roll over. Carefully choose your path
and drive no faster than you will be able to re-
act to obstacles that may appear.
