Descend a hill in the same gear you

would use to climb up the hill to

avoid excessive brake application

and brake overheating. Do not

descend in neutral; instead,

disengage overdrive or manually

shift to a lower gear. When

descending a steep hill, avoid

sudden hard braking as you could

lose control. When you brake hard,

the front wheels can’t turn and if

they aren’t turning, you won’t be

able to steer. The front wheels have to be turning in order to steer the

vehicle. Rapid pumping of the brake pedal will help you slow the vehicle

and still maintain steering control.

If your vehicle has anti-lock brakes, apply the brakes steadily. Do not

“pump” the brakes.

Driving on snow and ice

4WD vehicles have advantages over 2WD vehicles in snow and ice but

can skid like any other vehicle.

Should you start to slide while driving on snowy or icy roads, turn the

steering wheel in the direction of the slide until you regain control.

Avoid sudden applications of power and quick changes of direction on

snow and ice. Apply the accelerator slowly and steadily when starting

from a full stop.

Avoid sudden braking as well. Although a 4WD vehicle may accelerate

better than a two-wheel drive vehicle in snow and ice, it won’t stop any

faster, because as in other vehicles, braking occurs at all four wheels. Do

not become overconfident as to road conditions.

Make sure you allow sufficient distance between you and other vehicles

for stopping. Drive slower than usual and consider using one of the lower

gears. In emergency stopping situations, apply the brake steadily. Do not

“pump” the brakes. Refer to the Brakes section of this chapter for

additional information on the operation of the Anti-lock Brake System

(ABS).
