Here are the relevant instructions for performing a hill start with an automatic transmission car: 1. Technique One: If you are on a steep slope with the brake pedal pressed and the gear in neutral (N), first firmly engage the handbrake. Then, shift to D (Drive), release the brake, gently press the accelerator until the engine speed exceeds 2000 RPM, release the handbrake, and the car will move uphill. 2. Technique Two: On a very steep slope, quickly release the brake and promptly apply the accelerator, with a slightly heavier foot on the gas. Of course, also be mindful of any obstacles ahead to prevent rear-end collisions. 3. Technique Three: An automatic transmission, as the name suggests, does not require the driver to manually shift gears; the vehicle will automatically select the appropriate gear based on the driving speed and traffic conditions.
