What is the correct method for starting an automatic transmission car on a slope?
1 Answers
Start the engine, shift to D gear, press the accelerator, and release the handbrake to move forward. The general idea is the same as starting a manual transmission car on a slope, which is to give the car some power before releasing the brake to move forward. Some cars now come with a hill start assist function, eliminating the need to control the handbrake during startup, as the car will automatically release the handbrake at the appropriate time, making the operation even simpler. More details are as follows: 1. Press the brake pedal firmly with your right foot and start the car. Do not release the foot brake or handbrake, then shift from P gear to D gear, wait for about 2 seconds until you feel the car body shaking more noticeably. This indicates that the car already has forward power but is held back by the brake. 2. Press the button on the handbrake with your right hand but do not release the handbrake. Slowly release the foot brake and move your right foot to the accelerator pedal. The car will still be held by the handbrake. Gradually press the accelerator, and when you feel the car starting to move forward, release the handbrake and continue to press the accelerator to move forward.
