One gear down from normal road gear, but remember the transmission is not meant to be a brake.
It's an automatic. Leave it in "Drive" and the car will pick a suitable gear all by itself.
You are speaking about the different gear shifts... Drive, 1st, 2nd, and sometimes 3rd gears on an automatic vehicle. Drive should be used most of the time and the other gears only when hauling heavy weight or climbing steep terrains. You should adjust them according to speed. 1st gear going the slowest.
Shift down in to a lower gear.
It is for going up steep hills and 4 wheel drive, it locks the tramission into a gear in order to stop it shifting down on a steep climb and stressing the gearbox/Engine
Use a low gear to help slow your vehicle down.never coast in neutral or with your foot on the clutch.
You should change down to a lower gear, 3rd gear or if the grade is very steep 2nd gear.
Use a low gear. Which gear you should use depends on how steep a hill you are talking about and also how far down does the hill go. and are you using a standard or automatic transmission. Common sense should tell you to use a lower gear if the vehicle accelarates to much.
It depends on how steep the hill is and how heavy your vehicle is. If you find that when going up the hill in second gear you are getting too many RPM's, then yes shift up to third. But generally you should keep in the lowest gear possible, without overrevving the engine, especially if you're driving a loaded van or other heavy car.
Traditionally, you would've been told to use the same gear you went up the hill in to go down the hill. However, it may be necessary to drop a gear, given that modern vehicles are much more aerodynamic than previous vehicles were.
most of the time it saves gas but you should use low gear when towing or going down a steep hill
That asking price seems rather steep. Put your car into a lower gear to drive down a long, steep hill. Let the tea steep for several minutes.
