Other information:
Driving on steep hills or through mountains
is different than driving on flat or rolling
terrain. Tips include:
Keep the vehicle serviced and in good
shape.
Check all fluid levels, brakes, tires, cooling
system, and transmission.
Shift to a lower gear when going down
steep or long hills...
Keep belts clean and dry.
Seat belts should be properly cared for and
maintained.
Seat belt hardware should be kept dry and
free of dust or debris. As necessary, exterior
hard surfaces and seat belt webbing may be
lightly cleaned with mild soap and water...
