Driving Downhill

Whenever driving down a hill, follow these precautions:
1. Avoid steep hills (15° maximum).
2. Slow down. Never travel down a hill at high speed.
3. Always check the terrain carefully before driving down a hill.
4. Always drive down a hill with the transmission in forward gear.
Never "coast" or drive down a hill with the transmission in neutral.
5. Avoid driving down a hill at an angle, which would cause the vehi-
cle to lean sharply to one side. Always drive straight downhill.
6. Apply the brakes lightly to keep speed slow.
