0 As you are backing down the hill, put your left hand on the steering wheel at the 12 o'clock position.This way, you'll be able to tell your if wheels are straight and maneuver as back down. It's best thatyou you back down the hill with your wheels straight rather than the left or in right direction. Turning the wheel too to the left or right will far increase the possibility a rollover. of Here are some thingsyou must not do if you stall, or are about stall, to when goingup a hill. Never attempt to preventa stall by shifting into NEUTRAL(N) (or depressing the clutch, you have a manual transmission) to "rev-up" if the engine and regain forward momentum.This won't work. Your vehicle will roll backwards very quickly and could go out of you control. Instead, apply the regular brake to stop the vehicle. Then apply the parking brake. Shift into reverse, release the parking brake, and slowly back straight down. Never attempt to turn around you are about to stall when going a if up hill. If the hill is steep enough to stall your vehicle, it's steep enough to cause you to roll overif you turn around. If you can't makeit up the hill, you must back straight down the hill. Q: Suppose, after stalling, try to back down the hill and decidejust I I can't do it. What shouldI do? A: Set the parking brake, put your transmission in PARK (P) (or the manual transmission in first gear), and turn off the engine.Leave the vehicle and go get some help. Exit on the uphill side and stay clear of the path the vehicle would take it rolled downhill.Do not shift the if transfer case to NEUTRAL (N) whenyou leave the vehicle. Leave it in some gear. 4-18
