Which Gear to Use When Parking on a Slope?
1 Answers
When parking on a slope, engage first gear or P (Park) mode. Below are detailed techniques for slope parking: 1. Align 30cm: When ascending a slope, align your vehicle 30cm from the edge by ensuring the right 1/3 of the front hood coincides with the roadside line. 2. Rearview mirror alignment with solid line: When the lower edge of the left rearview mirror aligns with the second pole's solid line, you can brake to stop and engage the handbrake. 3. Complete the start: After stopping, you must initiate movement within 30 seconds. Gradually release the clutch until noticeable vehicle vibration is felt, then hold the clutch steady. 4. Smooth forward movement: Quickly release the handbrake while slowly easing off the brake pedal to allow the vehicle to move forward smoothly. If the vehicle feels sluggish or lacks power, gently apply the accelerator.
