What to Do When an Automatic Transmission Car Rolls Back in Reverse Gear?
1 Answers
There are two methods to address an automatic transmission car rolling back in reverse gear. Solution for rolling back on an uphill slope: On a slope, press the foot brake to come to a complete stop. Then, depress the clutch, shift from neutral to first gear, and gradually release the clutch to the semi-engaged point. When the car vibrates significantly, slowly release the foot brake. If the clutch is released accurately at this point, the car will neither move forward nor roll back but remain stationary on the slope. Subsequently, apply the accelerator, slowly release the clutch, and the car will move forward. Preventing rollback by shifting gears: When driving on a slope, use a low gear such as first or second gear. The car's gears are designed to adjust the relationship between speed and torque, thereby protecting the engine. Use first gear when starting the car or climbing a slope, as the engine delivers maximum horsepower and consumes the most fuel at this stage, resulting in the slowest speed.
