Which gear to use for hill start?
1 Answers
Use first gear for hill start. Key points: Upon hearing the "hill start and stop" instruction, immediately turn on the right turn signal and steer towards the right side of the area; when approaching the roadside, slightly turn the wheel left, then quickly straighten it right to keep the car parallel to the roadside within 50cm (using the white line at the front parking spot as a reference, do not cross the white line); depress the clutch and slowly approach the stopping point. When the small rearview mirror on the right hood aligns with the stop sign, press the foot brake, stop, pull the handbrake (until two clicks are heard), and turn off the turn signal; before starting, shift to first gear, turn on the left turn signal, and honk once; slowly release the clutch while holding the handbrake lever ready to start; when the car body vibrates or gear engagement sounds are heard, release the handbrake, and the car will move forward (some instructors may use the technique of slowly releasing the clutch while pressing the accelerator to start, with the same result in the road test). Test purpose: To assess the driver's ability to operate the vehicle on a slope, accurately judge the vehicle's position, and correctly use the brake, gear, and clutch to meet the needs of stopping and starting on an uphill section.
