How to Control Speed When Driving Downhill?
1 Answers
Utilize the engine's braking effect to reduce the vehicle's coasting speed. Here are more details about downhill driving: 1. Precautions: It is strictly prohibited to shift gears after entering a downhill section or to coast in neutral; steer gently when driving downhill, avoiding sharp turns to prevent rollovers caused by high inertia, speed, and improper steering; maintain a distance of at least 50 meters between vehicles; test the brake performance before descending, and if any faults are found, resolve them before proceeding. Intermittent use of brakes can effectively control the vehicle's downhill speed, and emergency braking should be avoided as much as possible. 2. Downhill Gear Selection: Engage a low gear. For manual transmissions, use 1st or 2nd gear.
