When driving down a slope with an inclination of more than 12 %,
select the same gear as you would if you were driving up the same
slope.
To moderate the speed, particular when travelling downhill, it is
always recommended using the service brake and shifting to the
next lower gear. If the travel pedal is let up only the hydrostatic
brake becomes active, but this brake function is not sufficient to
reduce the speed and has also an impact on wear resistance of
the driveline because of overheating.
