Which gear to use for uphill driving with a manual-automatic transmission?
1 Answers
When driving uphill with a manual-automatic transmission, you can use the D gear directly if the slope is not steep. For steeper slopes, switch to manual mode and select 1st or 2nd gear to maintain the engine speed above 3000 rpm for optimal climbing performance. Below are the steps for shifting in manual mode: 1. Press the brake pedal of the manual-automatic transmission car. 2. Move the automatic gear lever to the D/S position to enter manual mode. 3. Push the gear lever forward once to increase a gear. 4. Accelerate and press the throttle pedal when shifting to 3rd gear to achieve uphill driving.
