What gear should be used for uphill driving in a Corolla automatic transmission?

[AmaraFitz]

You can use the M gear. Reason: Generally, the M gear is used more frequently, and using a lower gear for uphill driving is more reliable; the M gear is a low-speed gear, and using first or second gear is more suitable for uphill driving. Extension: The Corolla automatic transmission has five gears, which are P (Parking gear), R (Reverse gear), N (Neutral gear), D (Drive gear), and M (Manual gear). This car uses a stepped gear arrangement, also known as a serpentine gear arrangement, which is a very common design for automatic transmission gears, often seen in Japanese cars. Its advantages and disadvantages are the opposite of the straight-line arrangement: the advantage is that it is less likely to shift into the wrong gear, while the disadvantage is that the operation is not as smooth and direct as the straight-line arrangement.
