When going uphill with an automatic transmission, shift to L gear. Additional gear shifting information: 1. When driving on flat urban roads, automatic transmission vehicles should always remain in D gear. The automatic transmission will shift gears automatically without requiring additional manual operation. 2. For short stops, simply press the brake. However, if stopping for more than 2 minutes, shift to N gear to protect the transmission and prevent overheating of transmission fluid. Note: Never shift to P gear at traffic lights as it may damage the transmission. 3. When climbing hills in D gear, if pressing the accelerator doesn't provide the same power as on flat roads, immediately shift to a low-speed gear with high torque. This saves fuel and reduces engine wear.

Why does a car suddenly stall while driving?

There are generally 5 reasons why a car suddenly stalls while driving: 1. Electrical circuit failure. This is caused by low-voltage power interruption during driving, leading to stalling. At this time, it is necessary to check the ignition and starter switch, as well as the fuse box. 2. Low-voltage line short circuit causing stalling, which results in intermittent stalling. In this case, the low-voltage lines need to be checked. 3. Component failure. 4. Fuel system failure. This includes damage to the fuel pump, rupture of the fuel line, blockage of the carburetor fuel inlet, or insufficient fuel in the tank. 5. Ignition system failure, where the engine's overheat anti-explosion system malfunctions.

What is the ECU in a car?

ECU in a car refers to the computer control module, also known as the electronic control unit, onboard computer, or vehicle computer. The functions of the ECU include: fault self-diagnosis and protection. When a system fault occurs, it can automatically record the fault code in RAM and take protective measures to read substitute programs from the inherent programs mentioned above to maintain engine operation. The function of the car ECU is to constantly monitor various input data and the operating states of the vehicle, calculate the information sent by various sensors according to pre-designed programs, and after processing, send the parameters to the relevant actuators to perform various predetermined control functions.
