What gear should you use when driving downhill?

[GavinLee]

What gear to use when driving downhill depends on different situations: 1. For manual transmission vehicles, use low gear 2 or 3; 2. For automatic transmission vehicles, use L gear. Precautions for driving downhill: 1. Reduce speed before descending to enter the downhill slope at a slow speed; 2. Coasting in neutral is strictly prohibited on downhill sections, you must engage an appropriate gear to use engine braking to control the vehicle's coasting speed; 3. Avoid sudden steering wheel movements on downhill sections, as high speed combined with improper steering can easily cause rollovers; 4. Maintain a safe distance from the vehicle in front; 5. When transitioning from downhill to uphill, prepare for the climb as you approach the bottom of the slope by timely releasing the brake pedal and shifting to a higher gear when appropriate.
