How to Prevent Rolling Back When Starting on a Slope?
1 Answers
The reasons for rolling back when starting on a slope generally fall into two categories: 1. The handbrake is not fully engaged: When parking on a slope, if the handbrake is applied but not tightened sufficiently, releasing the foot brake can cause the vehicle to roll back. 2. Releasing the brake too early: If the clutch is not yet at the semi-engaged position and the brake is released prematurely, it will lead to rolling back. Methods to avoid rolling back when starting on a slope are as follows: 1. Place the gear lever in neutral, fully engage the handbrake to ensure the vehicle does not roll; 2. With the left foot, fully depress the clutch, shift into first gear, hold the steering wheel at the 9 o'clock position with the left hand, and hold the handbrake with the right hand; 3. Gradually release the clutch with the left foot until reaching the semi-engaged position. When the vehicle starts to vibrate and shows a tendency to move forward, begin to gently press the accelerator pedal with the right foot, and press the handbrake release button with the right hand; 4. Once the vehicle starts moving forward, completely release the handbrake with the right hand.
