Curves And HillsStandalone practice
In a vehicle with a manual transmission, what can help control speed on a long, steep downhill grade?
Correct answer: A lower gear before the descent
Why
For a steep descent in a manual-transmission vehicle, use an appropriate lower gear and adjust speed to the slope and conditions. This reduces demand on the brakes. Follow the vehicle manual and do not coast with the clutch down.
