How to Prevent Stalling on an Uphill Slope?
1 Answers
Here are specific methods to prevent stalling when driving a motor vehicle on an uphill slope: 1. When driving uphill, maintain sufficient engine power to ensure the vehicle ascends smoothly. Continuously monitor the coolant temperature gauge to prevent engine overheating. If the coolant boils, choose an appropriate location to stop, rest briefly, add coolant, inspect the vehicle, and resume driving only after the temperature has decreased. 2. When driving on a steep slope, always select the appropriate gear based on the slope conditions. If the power is insufficient, quickly downshift without forcing the engine, as this may cause stalling due to gear dragging. If you miss the optimal shifting moment, you can skip gears when downshifting. If you encounter difficulty shifting or the engine stalls, immediately use both the service brake and parking brake to stop the vehicle forcefully, then restart.
