How to Operate an Automatic Transmission Car When Stuck in Traffic on an Uphill Slope

[ZaneRose]

Operating methods for automatic transmission cars when stuck in traffic on an uphill slope: Before stopping, be sure to maintain a certain driving distance from the vehicle ahead. Press the brake pedal, shift to neutral, and engage the parking brake. Some automatic transmission models use electronic parking brakes, which may have about a 1-second delay, so ensure the brake pedal is firmly pressed. Parking on a slope places a significant load on the engine. If encountering traffic congestion on a slope and the vehicle ahead begins to move, the car may roll backward when shifting gears, commonly referred to as rolling back. To prevent this phenomenon, while releasing the parking brake and foot brake, keep your foot on the accelerator pedal. When pressing the accelerator, be careful not to apply excessive force to avoid rear-end collisions.
