Correct answer

  • Bcon los frenos y con el motor.with the brakes and with the engine.
Explanation

The vehicle's speed can be reduced by applying the brakes or by engine braking: when we take our foot off the accelerator (helped by rolling resistance) or change down to a lower gear, the engine itself holds the vehicle back.
