1 Answers
To prevent rolling back during a hill start, follow these steps: 1. Shift into neutral and firmly apply the handbrake to ensure the vehicle does not roll back. 2. Press the clutch pedal all the way down with your left foot, shift into first gear, and hold the handbrake with your right hand. 3. Gradually release the clutch pedal to the biting point (half-clutch position) until the vehicle starts to vibrate and shows signs of moving forward. Hold this position without lifting the clutch further to prevent stalling. Slowly press the accelerator pedal with your right foot. Once the vehicle starts moving forward, fully release the handbrake with your right hand. 4. Continue pressing the accelerator to climb the hill. Avoid prolonged acceleration while in the half-clutch position during the start. Once the vehicle is moving forward under power, it will not roll back. Release the clutch pedal completely and accelerate to complete the hill start.
