How to Drive an Automatic Transmission Car Downhill in Snowy Conditions?

When driving an automatic transmission car downhill, the first step is to shift into the low gear (L gear). After engaging the low gear, the vehicle can utilize engine braking, which operates on the same principle as using engine braking in a manual transmission car when going downhill. Developing this driving habit helps prevent brake disc overheating and ensures the stability of the braking system. Below is a detailed introduction to automatic transmission cars: 1.
