Never attempt

to

prevent

a

stall by shifting

into

NEUTRAL

(N)

(or

depressing the clutch,

if

you

have a manual

transmission)

to

“rev-up”

the engine and

regain

forward

momentum. This won’t

work.

Your

vehicle

will

roll

backwards

very

quickly

and

you could

go

out

of

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 if

you are about to stall

when going up a

hill.

If

the

hill

is steep enough

to

stall

your

vehicle,

it’s

steep enough to

cause you

to

roll over if

you

turn around.

If

you

can’t

make it up

the

hill,

you

must

back

straight

down

the

hill.

Q:

Suppose,

after

stalling,

I

try

to

back

down

the

hill

and

decide

I

just

can’t

do

it.

What

should

I

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

if

it

rolled downhill.

Do

not

shift

the

transfer case to

NEUTRAL

(N)

when

you leave

the

vehicle. Leave it in

some gear.
