D Ease up on your speed as you approach the top of the hill. Q: A: What should I do if my vehicle stalls, or is about to stall, and I can't make it up the hill?If this happens, there are some things you should do, and there are some things you must not do.

This way, you'll be able to tell if your wheels are straight and maneuver as you back down. It's best that you back down the hill with your wheels straight rather than in the left or right direction. Turning the wheel too far to the left or right will increase the possibility of a rollover. Instead, apply the regular brake to stop the vehicle. Shift to REVERSE (R), release the parking brake, and slowly back straight down. D 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. Suppose, after stalling, I try to back down the hill and decide I just can't do it.
