{CAUTION:

Coasting downhill in NEUTRAL (N) or with the

ignition off is dangerous. Your brakes will have

to do all the work of slowing down. They could

get so hot that they would not work well. You

would then have poor braking or even none

going down a hill. You could crash. Always

have your engine running and your vehicle in

gear when you go downhill.

• Know how to go uphill. Drive in the highest gear

possible.

• Stay in your own lane when driving on two-lane

roads in hills or mountains. Do not swing wide

or cut across the center of the road. Drive at

speeds that let you stay in your own lane.

• As you go over the top of a hill, be alert. There

could be something in your lane, like a stalled car

or an accident.

• You may see highway signs on mountains that

warn of special problems. Examples are long

grades, passing or no-passing zones, a falling

rocks area, or winding roads. Be alert to these

and take appropriate action.
