the highest gear the box will use

so 1 wil only use 1st
2 will use 1st and 2nd
3 will use 1st, 2nd and 3rd
D will use 1st, 2nd, 3rd and 4th (and 5th if you have a Y25DT engine)

Use English, no text speak which is notoriously difficult to read.

To answer it in different words beyond what TB has said, if you are descending a very steep hill to save your brakes / in addition to them use the best gear of these three.  If climbing a very steep hill, say behind a very slow lorry, use 2nd or even 1st. ;) ;)
