How will you drive a vehicle with an automatic gearbox when driving down a steep and continuous descent?
Pick an answer to test yourself
The correct answer: Slow down intermittently with the help of the foot brake and engage a low gear according to the slope of the road.
On a long steep descent, pressing the brake continuously overheats it and it can lose its effectiveness. Braking intermittently and engaging a low gear lets the engine help slow the vehicle, so the brakes stay cool and reliable.
