Ontario road sign — Shift to a lower gear to use engine braking and reduce brake use
Show Answer & Explanation
Correct Answer: B. Shift to a lower gear to use engine braking and reduce brake use

Brake fade is caused by overheated brakes losing friction. A lower gear uses engine resistance to slow the vehicle, giving the brakes time to cool. Once at the bottom, have the brakes inspected before continuing on another descent.
