How to Drive an Automatic Transmission Car Uphill?

[AuroraRose]

Shift the gear from P (Park) to D (Drive). P stands for Park, and D stands for Drive. (Note: Keep your right foot on the brake at this time.) If the slope is very steep, release the brake quickly and press the accelerator promptly, applying slightly more throttle. Of course, also ensure there are no obstacles ahead to prevent rear-end collisions.

Speaking of automatic transmission uphill driving, I learned my lesson the hard way! I still remember the first time I drove an automatic car up a steep slope—the moment I released the brake, the car started rolling backward, scaring me half to death. Later, I learned a trick from Old Zhang at the repair shop: when you press the brake and shift to D, your right foot should stick to the brake like glue, then slowly transition to the gas pedal while feeling the car's forward momentum. Now, when I drive my old Accord up the parking ramp in my neighborhood, I always switch to L or manual 1st gear first, then press the gas until the RPM stabilizes around 2000—that's when the engine's pulling force is strongest. If there’s a car behind me, I just pull the electronic handbrake, step on the gas to release it automatically—super stable!
