What is the correct method for driving an automatic transmission car downhill?

The correct method for driving an automatic transmission car downhill is: lift your foot off the accelerator pedal in advance and place it on the brake pedal, preparing to gently tap the brake continuously until the vehicle speed decreases. Automatic transmission cars rely on a torque converter. Although the torque converter is not rigidly connected to the engine, it can still provide engine braking effects due to the presence of guide wheels within the torque converter. Therefore, automatic transmission cars also utilize the same low-gear engine braking principle as manual transmission cars when going downhill. Technique for accelerating uphill with an automatic transmission: After coming to a stop on an incline by pressing the brake, you can engage the handbrake. With engine power combined with the handbrake, the vehicle can remain stationary on the slope. Then, gradually release the brake and move your foot to the accelerator pedal. When you press the accelerator and feel the vehicle lurch forward, slowly release the handbrake to complete the start.
