SUBJECT 4 · BAD WEATHER & ROADS
On a long downhill road, speed increases due to gravity. The parking brake can be used intermittently to assist in braking.
ANSWER · A
Going downhill, shift to a lower gear and use engine braking. Coasting in neutral is strictly prohibited. On mountain downhill sections, avoid overtaking, since gravity makes the vehicle's speed easily too high and the vehicle harder to control than on flat roads. On a long downhill, speed builds with inertia. Continuous braking raises brake temperature, sharply reducing braking effectiveness or even causing failure. The most effective way to control speed is to use a low gear and engine braking. The parking brake can be used intermittently to assist.
