What should you do when going down a steep grade in a heary vehicle?
Shift down in to a lower gear.
Does It matter if you have a small engine going down steep hills in second gear?
The engine size should not matter when going down a hill, as long as you dont put it in too low of a gear and over rev your engine.
Which gear should you use for forward speeds o f15 to 25mph?
Second gear should handle the 15 - 25 mph range nicely, but if the engine seems to be racing a little, third gear probably would be better. It depends upon whether there is an up- or down- slope in the road, and the weight of the car.
Why should you be in a proper gear before starting a down hill?
Because it's very easy to miss a gear when going downhill, leading to a loss of control of the vehicle.

When should you use overdrive on your automatic?
most of the time it saves gas but you should use low gear when towing or going down a steep hill
What should you do when driving down a steep grade in a car with standard trasmission?
You should change down to a lower gear, 3rd gear or if the grade is very steep 2nd gear.
In which gear should you drive when going down a steep hill?
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.
