Does coasting in D gear uphill damage the car?
1 Answers
Coasting in D gear uphill will not cause any damage to the car. Here is more information about coasting: 1. Driving knowledge: To prevent rear-end collisions and potential dangers, neither automatic nor manual transmission vehicles should roll backward when starting uphill. 2. The method to prevent rolling backward is: use the handbrake correctly and properly. When starting, wait until there is a clear feeling of "forward thrust," i.e., when the front of the car lifts, release the handbrake and step on the accelerator pedal to start safely. 3. Modern transmissions are designed with uphill coasting in mind. Therefore, when going uphill, shift to L gear or use manual mode to select a lower gear, and the car will be able to climb the slope smoothly.
