What is the correct method for driving downhill in an automatic transmission car?
1 Answers
The correct method for driving downhill in an automatic transmission car is: 1. Shift to L gear when going downhill, and use the foot brake in combination. Remember not to shift to N gear; 2. Do not coast in neutral. The automatic transmission requires lubrication, and when the gear is placed in N while driving, the oil pump cannot supply oil normally for lubrication; 3. Under normal downhill conditions, using D gear with intermittent braking is sufficient. For steep slopes, use L gear to control the speed or manually shift gears to regulate speed; 4. Pay attention to road conditions while driving. In case of emergencies, apply the brakes. If the brakes fail, repeatedly press and release the brake pedal several times to potentially restore brake function. Hold the steering wheel firmly to prevent the car from veering off course and apply the handbrake.
