How to Drive an Automatic Transmission Car Uphill?
1 Answers
Here are the methods for driving an automatic transmission car uphill: 1. For gentle slopes: If the slope is not too steep, press the brake pedal and shift into D gear as usual. 2. For steep slopes: If the slope is very steep, use the handbrake in coordination. Shift into D gear, then gently release the handbrake while pressing the accelerator pedal. Below are some precautions for driving on slopes: 1. Uphill and downhill driving: Whether going uphill or downhill, with either manual or automatic transmission, never use neutral gear or depress the clutch when driving on a slope. When descending a long, steep slope, it's necessary to use low speed and the lowest gear in manual shift mode. 2. Uphill power: If concerned about insufficient power for climbing, you can switch to S gear, but remember to shift back to D gear after climbing, otherwise it will consume excessive fuel.
