Descending Sharp Gradients
•Select the 4L mode and depending on the severity of the gradient, shift into
appropriate gear. Use engine braking judiciously without over-revving the engine.
•Brake application under such situations should be done very smoothly to avoid loss of
control.
Select appropriate gear so that gear changing or clutch disengagement is not involved
while descending the gradient.
