Should You Press the Accelerator Pedal When Going Uphill?
1 Answers
You don't need to press the accelerator pedal when going uphill because the vehicle's inertia can carry it over the top of the slope, so it's possible to climb without stepping on the throttle. Below is some related information about gears: 1. The function of shifting gears: It utilizes the engine's resistance to help the vehicle better apply the parking brake. Since first gear and reverse gear are the two gears with the highest transmission ratio in a car's transmission, and also the two gears with the smallest transmission ratio when power is reversed, using first gear and reverse gear for engine braking provides the maximum braking force and the best braking effect. 2. Shifting techniques: Always remember the principle of "accelerate before upshifting, decelerate before downshifting" when changing gears. Before upshifting, "rev" the throttle to increase the speed first, and before downshifting, "release" the throttle to reduce the speed first.
