What gear should be used when driving a manual transmission car uphill?

[James]

What gear to use when driving a manual transmission car uphill depends on the vehicle's displacement and the steepness of the slope. 1. For high-displacement vehicles on gentle slopes, you can use 2nd or 3rd gear for climbing. 2. For low-displacement vehicles on gentle slopes, 2nd gear is usually sufficient, while 3rd gear may not be suitable for some slopes. 3. For very steep slopes, it's recommended to use 1st gear regardless of the vehicle's displacement. Additional information about uphill driving: 1. Don't use too high a gear when going uphill because climbing requires power. Using too high a gear may result in insufficient power, making the vehicle struggle to ascend. 2. Understand your vehicle's climbing capability. For most ordinary cars, 3rd gear is usually adequate for climbing. When carrying passengers, 2nd gear should be sufficient.
