Tips to never stall when starting on a slope: 1. Stay calm and don't panic; 2. When stopping and starting again, lift the clutch pedal slowly; 3. Even when the clutch is raised high and there's loud noise, don't rush. Watch for the front hood to rise and start vibrating, then release the handbrake; 4. If the car doesn't move after releasing the handbrake, lift the clutch a bit more and raise your foot higher; 5. Once the car starts moving, it might accelerate quickly, so keep your foot steady. The main causes of stalling are lifting the clutch too quickly or the car rolling backward, which leads to hastily pressing the brake or releasing the clutch and causing a stall.

Should You Turn Off the Engine or Shift to P Gear First When Parking an Automatic Transmission Car?

When parking an automatic transmission car, you should shift to P gear first and then turn off the engine. This is for safety reasons, to prevent the driver from forgetting to shift to P gear. In fact, P gear is similar to N gear, but when shifting to P gear, a pawl in the transmission locks the output shaft, preventing the vehicle from moving. If you park on a slope and forget to shift to P gear before turning off the engine, the vehicle may move due to inertia, which can be dangerous. It's important to note that you must engage the handbrake before shifting to P gear. Only the handbrake can truly prevent the car from moving. The function of P gear is similar to shifting to first gear in a manual transmission car to prevent rolling.
