What is the function of downhill assist?
1 Answers
The functions of downhill assist are: 1. Maintain a constant low speed for the vehicle to prevent wheel lock-up; 2. Significantly reduce vibrations generated when the vehicle descends on uneven road surfaces; 3. Ensure driving stability and improve ride comfort. Precautions for downhill driving include: 1. Reduce speed before descending to enter the downhill slope at a slow pace; 2. Shift into an appropriate gear before descending, preferably second or third gear, and avoid shifting after entering the downhill section; 3. Do not coast in neutral on downhill sections; always engage an appropriate gear to utilize engine braking for controlling the vehicle's coasting speed; 4. Test the braking performance before descending to ensure it is in good condition; 5. Avoid sudden steering wheel movements on downhill sections, as the high inertia and speed combined with improper steering can easily lead to rollovers; 6. Maintain a distance of at least 50 meters from the vehicle ahead.
