When should you shift down your transmission?

  1. When driving on flat terrain

  2. When approaching a stop sign

  3. Before going up a steep hill

  4. For better braking effect

The correct answer is: When driving on flat terrain

You should shift down your transmission when approaching a stop sign, going up a steep hill, or for better braking effect, not just when driving on flat terrain as mentioned in option A. Therefore, option A is not the correct answer. Option A suggests shifting down is only necessary when driving on flat terrain, but it is essential in various other situations to ensure proper vehicle control and performance.
