Hill and Mountain Roads
Driving on steep hills or mountains is
different from driving in flat or rolling
terrain. If you drive regularly in steep
country, or if you’re planning to visit
there, here are some tips that can make
your trips safer and more enjoyable.
Keep your vehicle in good shape.
Check all fluid levels and
also the
brakes, tires, cooling system and
transaxle. These parts can work hard
on mountain roads.
Know how to go down hills. The most
important thing to know is this: let
your engine do some
of the slowing
down. Don’t make your brakes do it
all. Shift to a lower gear when you go
down a steep or long hill. That way,
you will slow down without excessive use of your brakes.
I 54
r If you don’t shift down, your
brakes could get
so hot that
they wouldn’t work well. You
would then have poor braking or
even none going down a hill. You
could crash. Shift down to let your
engine assist your brakes on a
steep downhill slope.
Coasting downhill in
N (Neutral) or with the
ignition
off is dangerous. Your
brakes will have
to do all the work
of slowing down. They could get
so hot that they wouldn’t work
well.
You could crash. Always
have
your engine running and your
vehicle in gear when you go
downhill.
Know how to go uphill. You may want
to shift down to a lower gear. The
lower gears help cool your engine and
transaxle, and
you can climb the hill
better.
Stay in your own lane when driving on
two-lane roads in hills or mountains.
Don’t swing wide or cut across the
center of the road. Drive at speeds that
let you stay in your own lane. That
way, you won’t be surprised by a
vehicle coming toward you in the
same lane.
It takes longer to pass another vehicle
when you’re going uphill. You’ll want
to leave extra room to pass.
If a
vehicle is passing you and doesn’t have
enough room, slow down to make it
~ easier for the other vehicle to get by.

Jump Starting (CONT:)
2. Get the vehicles close enough so the
jumper cables can reach, but be sure
the vehicles aren’t touching each
other.
If they are, it could cause a
ground connection
you don’t want.
You wouldn’t be able to start your
Chevrolet, and the bad grounding
could damage the electrical systems.
I
A You could be injured if the
vehicles roll. Set
the parking
brake
firmly on each vehicle. Put
an automatic transaxle in P (Park)
or a manual transaxle in N (Neutral).
3. Turn off the ignition on both
vehicles. Turn off all lights that aren’t
needed, and radios. This
will avoid
sparks and help save both batteries.
And it could save your radio!
If you leave your radio on, it could
be badly damaged. The repairs wouldn’t be covered by
you-
warranty.
4. Open the hoods and locate the
batteries.

bwing Your Chevrolet (CONI)
To help avoid injury to you or
lers:
a Never let passengers ride in a
vehicle that is being towed.
a Never tow faster than safe or
posted speeds.
* Never tow with damaged parts
not fully secured.
* Never get under your vehicle after
it
has been lifted by the tow truck.
* Always use separate safety
chains on each side when towing
a vehicle.
Never use
“J” hooks. Use T-
hooks instead.
the ignition key off. The steering wheel
should be clamped
in a straight-ahead
position,
with a clamping device designed
for towing service. Do not use the
vehicle’s steering column lock for this.
The transaxle should be
in Neutral, and
the parking brake released.
Don’t have your vehicle towed on the
front wheels, unless
you must. If the
vehicle must be towed on the front wheels,
don’t go more than
35 mph (56 km/h) or
farther than
50 miles (80 km) or your
transaxle will be damaged. If these
limits must be exceeded, then
the front
wheels have to be supported on a dolly.
p-AU I IUN I
A vehicle can fall from a car
carrier if it isn’t properly
secured. This can cause a
collision, serious personal injury
and vehicle damage. The vehicle
should be tightly secured with
chains or steel cables before it is
transported.
Don’t use substitutes (ropes,
leather straps, canvas webbing,
etc.) that can be cut
by sharp edges
underneath
the towed vehicle.
