It can help control your speed as you go down steep mountain roads, but then you would also want to use your brakes off and on. NOTICE: If your rear wheels can't rotate, don't try to drive. This might happen you were stuck in if a solid very deep sand or mud or were up against object. You could damage your transmission.
