Question:

Find out the statement that best describes the use of the brake pedal on a steep downhill grade?

A Release the brake when you are 5 MPH below your safe speed, then let your speed come back up to your safe speed and repeat again, (bring speed down 5 MPH below your safe speed.)
explanation

The use of brakes on a long and/or steep downgrade is only a supplement to the braking effect of the engine. Once the vehicle is in the proper low gear, the following are the proper braking techniques:
1. Apply the brakes just hard enough to feel a definite slowdown.
2. When your speed has been reduced to approximately 5 mph below your “safe” speed, release the brakes. (This brake application should last for about 3 seconds.)
