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.
