Correct method for starting an automatic transmission car on a slope: 1. When starting on an uphill section with an automatic transmission, first firmly pull the handbrake, then start the car by pressing the brake pedal with your right foot; 2. Shift the gear to position 1 or 2, release the brake, place your right foot on the accelerator pedal to add throttle while simultaneously releasing the handbrake with your right hand; 3. When going downhill, also use a low gear, either 1 or 2, 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. The difference between automatic and manual transmissions lies in the clutch and gearbox. When starting on a slope, an automatic transmission is more challenging, as it's not easy to shift into D gear when starting, or after barely shifting into D gear, you might hear a clunk sound, and the car may vibrate slightly.
