How to Drive a Motor Vehicle on Mountainous Uphill Sections?
1 Answers
Specific methods for driving a motor vehicle on mountainous uphill sections: 1. When driving uphill, maintain sufficient engine power to ensure the vehicle climbs smoothly. Continuously monitor the coolant temperature gauge to prevent the engine from overheating. If the coolant boils, choose a suitable location to stop, rest briefly, add coolant, inspect the vehicle, and continue driving only after the temperature has decreased. 2. When driving on steep slopes, always select the appropriate gear based on the slope conditions. If the engine lacks power, quickly downshift to avoid straining the engine, which could lead to stalling. If you miss the optimal shifting moment, you may skip gears when downshifting. If you cannot engage a gear or the engine stalls, immediately use both the service brake and parking brake to stop the vehicle forcefully, then restart the engine.
