What gear should be used for climbing a slope with a Vios?
1 Answers
When climbing a slope with a Vios, generally shifting to D gear is sufficient. Climbing capability: The climbing capability of a car is evaluated by its maximum gradient, which refers to the maximum slope that a fully loaded car can overcome in first gear on a good road surface. Testing method for a car's maximum climbing gradient: Select a slope similar to the expected climbing gradient of the car, with a slope length greater than 25m and an 8-10m straight section before the slope. The test car should be parked on the straight section near the base of the slope, with the transmission set to the maximum traction output gear (usually first gear). After starting the car, press the accelerator pedal to the floor to climb the slope. If the car can successfully climb the slope, then select a steeper slope for testing until the car can no longer climb. The maximum slope that the car can climb is the maximum gradient it can overcome.
