The gear for climbing is related to the slope and the displacement of the car. Generally, gears 2-4 are used.

If the slope of the slope is large, the low gear should be 2-3. For a large-displacement car, you can increase the accelerator in third gear and go uphill. For a small-displacement car, use second gear to go uphill. For general urban slopes, a car with a large displacement can go to third gear. If the uphill speed is fast, it can even go directly to fourth gear. A car with a small displacement can use second gear. If the slope of the underground parking lot is steep, use second gear. .

Precautions for climbing hills

When a car climbs a hill, it must be done in one go. First, slow down appropriately and then put it into gear. During the hill climb, you must control the accelerator and listen to the sound of the engine. Is it shaking so that the car won't stall halfway?

Methods to save fuel when climbing a hill

1. When shifting from a higher gear to a lower gear when climbing a hill, do not wait until the inertia of the car disappears before changing gears. You should adapt to shifting gears early, otherwise it will be difficult to shift down. Or even if you shift into a low gear, it is not the economical speed for that gear. In serious cases, it will cause the vehicle to stop on a slope and require a restart, thereby increasing fuel consumption.

2. Do not climb hills at low speed and at high speed.

3. Do not increase the accelerator to force the climb. This consumes more fuel than climbing to the top of the hill at a lower economical speed.

4. Don’t speed up the slope before you reach it. Instead, make an appropriate estimate of the size and length of the slope, accelerate in advance, make full use of the car’s inertia to rush down the slope, and ensure that the high gear is not forced. , low speed gear does not rush hard, which is beneficial to fuel saving.
