Going up
Stay in a low gear on the bends and keep left. Uphill traffic has right of way on narrow stretches, but buses always win; give them room.
Coming down
Use engine braking: the same gear you'd climb in. Riding the brakes all the way down overheats them.
Mist and rain
Headlights on, speed down, and don't stop on a bend. If visibility goes, wait it out at a safe spot.
Tips
- Automatic cars with hill hold, like the Glanza, make stop-start climbs easier.
- Honk before blind hairpins.
