| Off-Road Driving Tips for Descending Hills on Failed Climbs | |
If the vehicle stalls going uphill, then apply the brakes, put it in reverse, remove your feet from the clutch and brake pedal simultaneously, and turn the key to restart the engine. Then allow the vehicle to descend back down the hill using only the engine to keep the descent slow. Remember that visibility is limited when braking downhill, steering is much quicker, and steering kickback is more violent. Do not attempt to turn around on a steep hill, as the vehicle may roll.
