How to Perform Service Braking When Parking a Motor Vehicle on a Downhill Section?
1 Answers
When parking a motor vehicle on a downhill section, the method for performing service braking is as follows: 1. When traversing a downhill section with a steep gradient, you must apply the brakes for a longer duration to maintain the vehicle's speed within a reasonable range. 2. Upon approaching a downhill section, promptly reduce the vehicle's speed and shift the gear to L (Low) mode. Utilize the engine braking effect to control the vehicle's speed. Additional Information: The principle of engine braking in vehicles is that the engine does not provide traction to the car. Instead, as the wheels rotate and drive the transmission system, the idling engine generates a counteracting resistance force on the vehicle. The higher the gear, the lesser the engine's effect on the vehicle, and the lower the gear, the greater the engine's effect on the vehicle.
