What to Pay Attention to When Driving Downhill?
1 Answers
Precautions for driving downhill include: 1. Reduce speed before descending to enter the downhill section at a slow speed; 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 use engine braking to control speed; 4. Test the brakes before descending to ensure they are functioning properly; 5. Avoid sudden steering wheel movements on downhill sections, as high inertia and speed combined with improper steering can lead to rollovers; 6. Maintain a distance of at least 50 meters from the vehicle ahead.
