Normally as you would drive safely anyway. On a very steep grade kick it out of Overdrive The 4Runner has a button on the gear shift. Other vehicles w/o that feature you may have to drop a gear with shifter, especially a 4 or 5 speed auto, and allow the engine to run at about 3000 rpm, so as to not 'lug' it, it will consume a bit more gas but is easier on transmission and engine. Don't forget to put it back in O/D or "D" when you crest a grade..unless the other side is equally or steeper (more steep?) downhill, and allow the engine to control your speed instead of riding brakes. If you are talking about off-roading, climbing a very steep hill slowly, put it in Low or "1"

What does a driver need to do when traveling uphill in a vehicle with a manual transmission?
You need to downshift to reduce load and drag on the transmission. Ideally, you should downshift before or as soon as you hear the engine being put under a strain. Continuing to drive uphill without downshifting puts undue stress on the engine and slows the vehicle down under the load.An automatic transmission downshifts "automatically" (which is why it is called an automatic transmission).Note: Going downhill driving a manual stick, you don't want to let your speed get too high. You can downshift on dangerous hills or hills with curves to keep your descent within the speed limit.
