Should the clutch be fully released when starting on a downhill slope?

[DelCarter]

When starting on a downhill slope, the clutch should be fully released. Here are some operation techniques for downhill driving: 1. Before descending: Reduce the vehicle speed before descending to enter the downhill slope at a slow speed. Shift into an appropriate gear, generally second or third gear. It is strictly prohibited to shift gears after entering the downhill section. Test the braking performance before descending. If there are any issues, resolve them before proceeding downhill. Use brakes cautiously on downhill sections. 2. During descent: Coasting in neutral is strictly prohibited on downhill sections. You must engage an appropriate gear and use the engine's braking effect to reduce the coasting speed. Avoid sudden steering wheel movements on downhill sections, as the high inertia and speed combined with improper steering can easily cause the vehicle to overturn.
