About the M-2

  • On the Salt Range descent between Kallar Kahar and Lilla, shift to a lower gear and let the engine hold your speed. Riding the brakes all the way down causes brake fade, especially in a loaded car.
  • Climbing the Salt Range towards Islamabad in summer heats the engine hard. Turn off the AC if the temperature gauge climbs, and stop on the hard shoulder before it reaches the red.
  • From December to February, dense fog often settles on the plains section between Pindi Bhattian and Lahore. Slow right down, keep a long gap, and check with Motorway Police on 130 whether sections are closed.
  • Never reverse on the motorway if you miss an interchange or service area. Carry on to the next exit, and if the car is failing, stop on the hard shoulder with hazards on and a warning triangle behind you.
