Operation & Safety第 59 / 60 题
Before starting down a long grade, when should you select the proper gear?
a.Before starting down, because it is difficult and dangerous to downshift once already descending fast
b.Only after the brakes start to fade
c.At the bottom of the hill
d.Never; leave it in the highest gear
解析
You should select a safe, low gear before you start down a grade. Trying to downshift after you have already gained speed can be difficult or impossible and can leave you without engine braking. Being in the right gear before descending is critical to controlling speed.
