Yes, "He is slowing down" can have two meanings depending on the context:
1. Intentionally: He is deliberately reducing the car's speed.
* Example: He sees a red light ahead, so he is slowing down.
2. Unintentionally: The car is slowing down due to external factors (e.g., mechanical issues or running out of fuel).
* Example: His car is losing power, so it is slowing down.

HE is slowing down must refer to the driver of the car. He is a man. As you are referring to the driver, we'd suppose the action is intentional. The driver is choosing to drive more slowly.
IT is slowing down refers to the car. We don't know if this is intentional or unintentional. Perhaps the car is slowing down because the driver is choosing to do so. Maybe the car has a mechanical problem. Without context, we don't know.

In your sentence, it is "he" that is "slowing". The sentence says nothing about the car. Your question cannot be answered without context. You did say "about car", but that is too vague to specify why the sentence is written. A paragraph explaining the situation is needed.

If you say "he is slowing down" then its mostly intentional, but if you say "the car is slowing down" then it can have 2 meanings, intentionally and unintentionally
