What are the requirements for hill start and stop test?

Hill start and stop test requires parking at a fixed position on a slope with ≥10% gradient and ≥30 meters length, assessing the coordination of steering, braking, and clutch operation. Method for hill start and stop: Depress the clutch fully, engage 1st gear, release the handbrake, and slowly lift the clutch to start; fully release the clutch before ascending the slope. Look ahead, keeping the midpoint of the front hood about 20-30 cm from the white line on the right side of the slope, steer straight, and maintain parallel ascent. When the driver, marker pole, and dashboard form a straight line (approximately 45 degrees based on personal sight), depress the clutch fully, apply the brake, pull the handbrake, and stop the vehicle steadily. When starting downhill from a half slope, do not depress the clutch; instead, apply the brake moderately to control speed and avoid excessive speed. As the vehicle accelerates downhill, brake gently to prevent stalling. Near the bottom of the slope, release the brake to maintain normal driving and proceed to the next test item. If the clutch is fully depressed downhill, the vehicle will coast rapidly without power; releasing the clutch fully provides power and slows the vehicle. Since braking downhill may result in penalty points, fully releasing the clutch is a safe approach.
