What should you do when doing down a steep grade in a heavy vehicle?
You should brake at the top of the hill and slow down to a speed where you can change down to the next lowest gear. Anticipation is most important, as you may need to change down again to the next lowest gear. Engine braking helps to prevent overheating the brakes, and also assists vehicle stability on steep hills.

When going down a steep hill should you use the engine or brakes?
Nether what you should do is just take your foot off the gas and let it roll down the hill to its destination.My answer:When going downhill it may be necessary to slow down to maintain steering control. Using brakes only on a long steep decline can cause the brakes to heat up and fail. Any gasoline engine or a diesel engine equipped with a "Jake Brake" can provide additional braking without heating the brakes. With many automatic transmissions it is necessary to manually select a low gear. Manual transmission drivers will do this automatically. With 2WD vehicles there are additional considerations when using engine to brake in slick conditions:Regardless of front or rear drive, it is usually best to cease engine braking before entering a curve. The regular brake and especially ABS will distribute braking more equally and are less likely to cause understeer than FWD engine braking or oversteer compared to RWD engine braking.
When should you downshift automatic transmission?
