Downshifting

When you must slow down in heavy
traffic or on a steep 

upgrade

,

downshift before the engine starts to
overwork. This reduces the chance of
stalling and gives better acceleration
when you need more speed.
On a steep 

downgrade

, downshifting

helps maintain safe speed and
prolongs brake life.
