JAKARTA - Automotive - In the automotive world the term "engine brake" close our ears. So exactly what is the meaning of the term word? The purpose is to break engine braking by utilizing the power of the engine. 

 
Engine brake can be done by reducing the speed by reducing gear in a row. This method proved to be effective if you're forced to reduce vehicle speed due to spontaneous thing.
  If done the right way, this way is one that does not require vehicle maintenance costs. The benefits to be gained from the use of engine braking is able to save brake.
  The correct way to perform engine braking by using a vehicle with manual transmission is when the transmission lever is at a five gear positions do not immediately move into third gear position.
  The gear shift should be done regularly, for example from the fifth and fourth and then third and so on. If forcing the gear shift erratically or jump, the result would damage the engine.
  Automatic transmission cars can also do this way. Especially when passing down the street. The trick, move the transmission lever from position 'D' to position '2 '. If it still feels less braking effect, move the gear lever to the '1 '. But be careful, if one application will be felt vibrating brake pedal. This happens due to the function of the front wheel discs at work is uneven. (Source: Evalube) source: okezone.com
