Which Gear is for Climbing Hills?

[DiIsla]

For climbing hills, use the low gear, either 1st or 2nd gear. Below are detailed introductions to car gears: 1. P gear is the parking gear. When the gear lever is in the P position, the transmission is in neutral, but the output shaft is mechanically locked. At this time, the car will stop in place even without stepping on the brake. It is generally used when the car is parked for a long time. When shifting into P gear, the car must be completely stationary. Do not shift into P gear before the car has come to a complete stop, and the handbrake must be engaged. When parking on a slope, engage the handbrake first before shifting into P gear. 2. R gear is the reverse gear. When the gear lever is in the R position, the rotation direction of the transmission's output shaft is opposite to that of the engine, allowing the car to move backward. When shifting into R gear, the car must be completely stationary. Do not shift into R gear before the car has come to a complete stop. 3. N gear is the neutral gear. When the gear lever is in the N position, the gears inside the transmission are idling, and the clutch is not engaged. At this time, the load on the transmission is minimal. N gear is generally used for short-term parking, such as waiting at a red light. Additionally, when the car is being towed, the transmission should be in N gear. 4. D gear is the drive gear. When the gear lever is in the D position, the gears inside the transmission automatically switch between the lowest and highest gears based on factors such as vehicle speed and throttle opening, according to the preset shifting pattern. In most cases, D gear can be used for driving. 5. L gear is the numerical limit gear. When the gear lever is in these positions, the transmission can only switch between the limited gears. "1" or "L" is the lowest gear of the transmission and is generally used only when extremely strong power is needed, such as climbing steep hills or towing heavy vehicles.
