Mountain Driving 101: Understanding signs, and using an AMT (Episode 3)

Some grades have signs that display a profile of the hill; some signage offers ambiguous warnings like, “Use Lower Gear” or “Slow Down,” but lower than what or how slow? We break down what the signs mean and explain how they can help you on a long grade. We also explain the correct use of an automated transmission and the engine brake to maintain a safe downhill speed.

There's a different model of Volvo that doesn't have a stick shift, its buttons on the dash not easy to look at while your driving

Can u use engine brake during snow?

[@690_5]

It'd have to be on a lower setting but it really depends on the condition of the road. Wet snow is not where ya wanna use the Jake Brake.
