What is the best gear to use when driving uphill?

[DelDiana]

Here is an introduction about which gear to use when driving a car uphill: 1. When driving uphill, it depends on the climbing power of your vehicle. Each car has different climbing capabilities - for small slopes, if 4th gear is sufficient, use 4th gear to climb; 2. For moderate slopes, if 3rd gear is enough, use 3rd gear to climb. If 3rd gear isn't sufficient, switch to 2nd gear (you can shift either before or during the climb, but need to master the coordination between clutch and throttle); 3. For steep slopes, try to use 2nd gear if it's adequate. If 2nd gear isn't enough, switch to 1st gear (you can shift before or during the climb, the key is to judge the slope gradient in advance and coordinate clutch and throttle properly). This represents an economical, fuel-saving and safe driving technique.
