The correct way to control the speed when going down a long slope is

The correct way to control the speed when going down a long slope is to shift into a low gear.

You can't slide in neutral when going downhill, and you can't slide on the clutch pedal. Use the parking brake after parking. It is correct to use the engine resistance brake only when the low gear is engaged.

The safest way to control the speed on a long downhill road is to brake with the help of the engine, lower the transmission gear, reduce the engine speed, and don't step on the accelerator. With the full help of engine braking response, the braking frequency can be effectively reduced, thus preventing the brake pad from overheating and failure due to long-term braking.

Skills of controlling vehicle speed when going down a long slope;

When driving a motor vehicle down a long slope or continuously downhill, the speed will be faster and faster. When the brake temperature rises to a certain extent, the braking effect will drop sharply. The best way to control the vehicle speed is to use low gear and make full use of engine braking to slow down.

When you meet a long downhill section, you should pay attention to it and drive slowly. Watch the roadside. There are very eye-catching warning signs on the long downhill section, and there are deceleration roads with obvious color tips under the wheels. Remember how far ahead there is an emergency lane.

When driving a motor vehicle on the downhill section of a mountain road, try to avoid overtaking, because the speed of the downhill section is easy to be too fast due to gravity, and the vehicle is more difficult to control than when leveling the road. At this time, overtaking is prone to danger.

Matters needing attention when the car goes down a long slope:

1. Reduce the speed before going downhill, so that the vehicle can enter the downhill at a slower speed.

2. Enter the appropriate gear before going downhill. Generally, you should choose the second gear or the third gear. It is forbidden to shift gears after entering the downhill section.

3. It is forbidden to slide in neutral on the downhill section, so it is necessary to engage in a suitable gear and reduce the sliding speed of the vehicle by using the containment function of the engine.

4. Before going downhill, test whether the braking performance is good. If there is any fault, go downhill after troubleshooting, and use the brakes carefully on the downhill section.

Don't slam the steering wheel on the downhill road. Due to large inertia, fast speed and improper use of steering wheel, it is easy to cause rollover.
