Which of the following is about how you should use the brake pedal on a steep downhill grade?

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.
When your speed has increased to your “safe” speed, repeat steps 1 and 2.
