Note A:

If the speed of the vehicle increases considerably without application of the accelerator and if continuous use of the service brake is necessary, brake to the appropriate speed before a lower gear is engaged in order to minimise an increase in speed.

Repeat this procedure, as necessary.

Avoid selecting a lower gear to assist or replace braking, in order to reduce the speed of the vehicle.

Note B:

Gears should be changed, where possible, whilst travelling on a straight course.

Note C:

An appropriate gear shall be selected before descending a steep gradient.
