What is the correct method for driving a CVT automatic transmission car downhill?
1 Answers
First, firmly engage the handbrake. When starting the car, press the brake pedal with your right foot before starting the engine, then shift to D gear or a low gear. Release the brake and place your right foot on the accelerator pedal. Gradually increase the throttle while slowly releasing the handbrake with your right hand. When going downhill, use a low gear, either 1st or 2nd gear. Do not press the accelerator pedal; let the car descend by inertia, but keep your right foot on the brake pedal to control the speed.
