Which gear should an automatic transmission be in when going uphill?
1 Answers
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.
