Question:
In order to avoid braking fade, you should do which of the below?
A
select a gear that will keep your vehicle at a safe speed on steep downgrades.
explanation
If you frequently apply the brake to slow down on downhill roads, the brakes may eventually become worn out (lose their effectiveness). Change into a low gear instead. This will cause the engine to brake, slowing the vehicle down. The engine braking effect increases with lower gearing. If the engine braking is ineffective or if you need to stop, use the brakes.
