What is the incorrect statement about coasting downhill with the engine off?
1 Answers
About coasting downhill with the engine off, the incorrect statement is that coasting downhill utilizes the slope's potential to propel the vehicle forward without the engine working, which can save fuel and should be strongly advocated. Additional information: Engine-off downhill: When the engine is off downhill, the vehicle loses engine braking resistance, and the power steering system also loses its power source, making brake failure extremely dangerous. Do not turn off the engine or shift into neutral when going downhill. If the engine stalls and the vehicle is in neutral while going downhill, it can easily lead to loss of control and accelerated wear of the brake pads. Forced downshifting: Do not turn off the engine to save fuel on downhill sections. If the vehicle stalls abnormally, for manual transmission vehicles, forced downshifting can be chosen, or the handbrake can be gradually applied using a method of pulling tight, releasing, pulling tight, and releasing repeatedly to bring the vehicle to a stop.
