When you are descending a long and steep slope, to be able to use the engine braking capacity (engine brake) optimally, you must shift in time into a lower gear. Thus you will benefit from the engine brake and you will significantly reduce the wear of the braking system (foot brake).
If on such a slope you use the service brake exclusively, the brake pedal will have to be kept pressed for a long period of time, which will lead to the overheating of the discs and brake pads. As the temperature rises, the grip between the pads and discs decreases, reducing braking efficiency. This phenomenon, known as “brake system fatigue”, can cause the brakes to become less effective and lengthen the stopping distance, increasing the risk of accidents.
