dishezë / tatëpjetë
Explanation:
kalo provën e dishezës (ose tatëpjetë) ndro marshin dhe mbaj frenat njëkohësisht.

Downgrade

Before starting down the grade:

Downshift as needed to help control engine speed and test brakes by gently applying the foot brake to ensure they are functioning properly. As your vehicle moves down the grade, continue checking traffic in all directions and stay in the far right lane. Increase following distance and observe the following downhill braking procedures:
— Select a “safe” speed, one that is not too fast for the weight of the vehicle, length, and steepness of the grade, weather, and road conditions.
— Once a safe speed has been reached, apply the brake hard enough to feel a definite slowdown.
— When speed has been reduced to 5 m.p.h. below the safe speed, release the brakes.
— Once speed has increased to the safe speed, repeat the procedure.

In the rush of the moment, I couldn't decide whether it was going down in speed, or down as in a slope. An explanation couldn't get more convincing than yours :). Thanks.

Notes to answerer
Asker: Thanks for your contribution, but I think my entry might have been a bit rushed and not too clear. I later found out that "grade" also means "slope" and in this case, "down grade" was simply a downwards slope.
