Engine braking
|
〘Noun〙 ( English: engine brake) When a car is going down a slope, the engine pistons move in the opposite direction to the rotation of the wheels, and the resulting compression frictional resistance is used to brake the car. The lower the gear, the greater the braking force. *Susono (1947-50)〈Funabashi Seiichi〉1 "The bus went down a steep, cliff-like slope using the engine brakes."
