How to Avoid Stalling During Hill Start?

[StPenelope]

Techniques for a smooth hill start without stalling: 1. Control the vehicle speed: When performing a hill start, the speed should be slightly faster before ascending the slope to give the car a bit of momentum. Once the rear wheels are on the slope, immediately reduce the speed to allow the car to move slowly. If the speed is too fast, it may be difficult to adjust the lane position relative to the side line and align the reference point for stopping. 2. Choose the right reference point. 3. Coordinate your actions: During hill start, the clutch, accelerator pedal, and parking brake lever must be coordinated. The timing of releasing the parking brake lever is crucial—too late, and the car won't start, causing the engine to stall; too early, and the car may roll backward. The key technique is to lift the clutch pedal to the semi-engagement point: listen for engine sounds, feel the body vibration, and observe the tachometer needle shaking and moving downward.
