Q: What shouldI do if my vehicle stalls,or is about tostall, and I can't make it the hill? up A: If this happens, there are some things you should do, and there are some things you must not do. First, here's what youshould do: Push the brake pedal to stop the vehicle and keep it from rolling backwards. Also, apply theparking brake. If your engine is still running, shift the transmission into reverse, release the parking brake, and slowly back down the hill in reverse.
