sa 4x4 you usually start sa 2nd gear pag naka low 4 ka - kahit sa manual ng land rover it is stated that you use 2nd gear pag naka low 4 ka to move the car. so what is the use of 1st gear. When you are going down steep inclines there are times it is best not to step on your brakes because you might skid and end up inverted - the best way is stay on 1st then assist with a bit of gas - then if you want to slow down - let go.
