Engine braking is basically the process of slowing the car down by releasing the accelerator and shifting down through gears, rather than using the footbrake.

Why Should we use it?
Using the footbrake is the most common way to reduce your speed, both in an emergency and in normal conditions.
Depending on how hard you press the brake pedal, you control the speed at which you slow down, when you stop, and when you start again.
But using the footbrake isn’t the only way to slow down. Though less commonly used, engine braking is a great way to improve your vehicle’s efficiency and help your brakes last longer.

Benefits of Engine Braking
It reduces wear and tear on your brakes.
The brake system relies on friction to slow down your vehicle.
Engine braking is especially helpful on long descents on mountains or hills.
Riding the brakes down a long slope can cause them to overheat, which decreases braking ability and damages the braking system.
