How should you use the gearbox while driving on a continuous descent?

1. The gearbox should be in high gear.
2. Correct answer: The gearbox selector should be in a low gear.
3. The gear used while driving on a continuous descent is of no importance, as long as the brakes function properly.
4. The gearbox handle should be in neutral gear.

WhyOn a long descent use a low gear. Then the engine brakes the car and the brakes do not overheat. In neutral or a high gear everything rests on the brakes, and they quickly weaken.
