SUBJECT 4 · BAD WEATHER & ROADS

Besides using the brakes, what effective auxiliary methods are there for controlling the vehicle's speed on a downhill?

A
Release the clutch and glide.
B
Coasting in neutral
C
Shut down the engine and glide.
D
Use engine braking.
ANSWER · D
On a downhill, the speed will increase due to inertia. Continuous use of the brakes causes a sharp drop in braking effectiveness as brake temperature rises. The most effective way to control speed is to use a low gear and fully use engine braking to slow down. Coasting in neutral is strictly prohibited.
