Which Gear to Use When Climbing a Hill with a Manual Transmission?
1 Answers
Manual transmission gear selection for hill climbing depends on the slope gradient: 1. For gentle slopes: Use 2nd or 3rd gear for climbing. 2. For steep slopes: It's recommended to use 1st gear. The starting procedure for manual transmission vehicles is as follows: 1. After ignition, fully depress the clutch pedal with your left foot to completely disengage the clutch. 2. Shift the transmission into 1st gear. 3. Press or lift the electronic parking brake button. 4. Ensure safety by observing surrounding vehicles and pedestrians. 5. Keep the clutch pedal depressed with your left foot while gently pressing the accelerator with your right foot, then slowly release the clutch pedal with your left foot.
