Attention! When driving uphill, switch to lower gears in the gearbox in a timely manner, avoiding overloading the engine and jerking the car.
On long descents, use the engine in braking mode (accelerator pedal released in gear) with partial use of service brakes.
Warning! Never descend with the clutch disengaged and using only the service brakes. This will cause the brakes to heat up and the brake fluid to boil. Keep in mind that as altitude increases, the boiling point of brake fluid decreases. Boiling brake fluid in the wheel cylinders means a complete failure of the service brakes - the brake pedal fails.
In mountainous areas, keep to the right side of the road. The smaller width of the road and the complex profile of the track require more attention and caution. When stopping on an uphill or downhill, turn the steering wheel all the way so that in the event of a spontaneous start of the vehicle’s movement, its wheels rest against the curb of the road.
On a slippery road, do not start driving up a steep hill until the vehicle in front has reached the top of the hill.
