Driving on steep hills can be challenging in both a manual and automatic car. In this video I explain and demonstrate which gear you should use when driving on hills. This video also applies to automatic cars as most automatics give you the option to stay in lower gears.

Yohana Swedi, I truly agree with you 1000% I am watching in San Bernardino California where I live close to the mountains & my good neighbors, well it's a long story, but they gave me their truck & I have learned how to drive stick thanks to KZbin. Well in just test driving about 20-30 minutes I have learned how to drive BUT because I don't drive daily, my battery dies. Anyway, I'll tell you I have to call AAA which is a company that assists when your car needs a charge. So AAA guy tells me I need to drive truck for about an hour to fully charge truck so I do & i finally come to an exit which is a steep uphill & the truck choked & i was braking & truck began rolling down & after a few starts, somehow this time truck starts & begins to roll up YIKES this was after a few tries... well after that I needed to learn how to be at a Stop sign & easily move on up. Other training videos cars are new & well, I needed This video to explain what I needed, soooooo Thankful I found your Video AND video quality IS awesome just an FYI but its YOUR instruction that MAKES you a winner in my book & I truly appreciate the fine instruction, well detailed so much so that I feel I am well prepared to take on the little steep hills🤪😂. Thank you & YOU win Gold in my book🏅🎖🥇🏆❤

We drove to The lake District about 10 years back and I have to say I was stressed out the whole time. My car was a 1.5L Petrol and it was the earlier days of sat navs. i got taken up plenty of difficult roads where I was petrified that someone would come behind me and I would have to do a hill start off a steep t-junction, or from pulling in to let a car off. I have been in no rush to go through that again and haven't been on a driving holiday since.

I’ve just come into KZbin to search your videos for hill driving advice and you’ve not failed me! I drive a Peugeot 207 1.4, as a new driver I’ve noticed I lose power up hill and feel as though I’m holding up cars behind me. So what I take from your video is slower speeds up hill are fine…that higher revs are also fine and I shouldn’t be worrying about those high revs! I drove a 13% incline yesterday which I know isn’t that steep but I still had to drop to second gear as I lost power in 3rd. I was holding up a nice big Range Rover behind me haha! My hubby keeps telling me my car struggles due to the smaller engine size…so I assume a bigger engine handles hills better?
@ConquerDriving
@ConquerDriving 2 жыл бұрын
Everything you said is correct apart from smaller engines have less power, whereas this used to be true, these days engine size doesn't determine power, for example my 1.4 turbo petrol Leon I use in the videos has 300nm or torque (torque is pulling power) but my 2.0 MX5 only has 200nm of torque. My 1.4 definitely feels better uphill than my 2.0. So torque matters, engine size doesn't these days. Also my 1.4 reaches peak torque at only 2000rpm of revs but my 2.0 reaches peak torque at 4000rpm of revs so I can't get away with using less revs uphill in my 1.4 litre car. As long as your engine is up to temperature don't worry about revs, I'm happy to drive my MX5 at 5-7,500rpm for hours on track without worrying about it. Just don't do it on a stone cold engine, the oil needs to get warm and the engine components need to expand slightly from the heat. Here is a video of me driving on track kzbin.info/www/bejne/fHSppWZ_ZdpnZrs I would guess your 1.4 only has about 100nm of torque at 4000rpm, so you need to rev it to get it going.

Hi Richard, I'll be doing my driving test in Buxton soon where there are roads with speed limits of 50mph or higher that go downhill even in the straightest sections. In this case, do I use 2nd or 3rd gear to go down. I failed my 1st attempt for getting too many minors on progress - appropriate speed (too slow) on roads like I've described
@BlueCollarCriminal
@BlueCollarCriminal 9 ай бұрын
I tried taking my car that I built bottom to top up a very steep hill but it wouldn’t make it I’ve never driven manual before this car so I don’t know much besides how to shift up and down but never considered having to go up in a low gear because of how much power is needed for a car to get up a hill as apposed to going down hill. I was trying to push 3rd gear up this hill and would slow to a complete stop because my rpm’s and speed would drop to low for 3rd to handle which I didn’t down shift and the car dies and starts rolling back down hill. Whole time I thought my car or engine was to blame but now I know that I have a 120hp low torque car expecting it to push up a steep hill at a high speed. Gonna try going at first and second to see if that was my problem the whole time. I’ll feel like a fool but I’m learning

Great videos as usual. Quick question - many times while driving I'm in 2nd and fall down to 9-10kmh which is a very problematic speed, since it is too slow for 2nd gear but then too hard to shift to first. How do you re engage first gear while going around this speed? How do I act with the clutch and gas at this situation? Thanks!
@dougscott7079
@dougscott7079 3 жыл бұрын
A lot of the time you can recover from low speed in 2nd gear without shifting. 2nd is powerful and the car won't stall easily. If you must go to 1st, make sure you are adding gas and then lift and hold the clutch at the biting point for a second or two. A bit like when moving off from stationary. Otherwise you will have a very harsh downshift. Practice practice practice.

@alexdavila1356
@alexdavila1356 Жыл бұрын
I'm new to manuals. A poorly made parking lot exit had a ridiculously steep incline and I approached it in 1st gear. As I crawled up the hill by letting the car idle in 1st, I noticed I was losing revs to the hill and it would stall me. I didn't want to stop on an incline like that to check if the way was clear to make my turn (I would have if traffic was there) so as I went up I checked traffic in both directions and gave it gas before my revs lowered to a stall and made my exit. The car was a 124 Abarth. My automatic would have let me idle in the 'D' (drive) gear up the hill without an issue. So I guess, the automatic is doing the work for me by selecting the lower gear and then applying gas when it realises it's losing revs to the up hill idling-crawl? I'm realising, in the manual then, if i'm losing power while climbing up hill in my selected gear I either A) go down a gear, or B) increases revs in the selected gear by applying more gas

How about for turbocharged motors? I have heard that when climbing hills, you would never want to open more than 50% throttle when you're in 5th or 6th at low (

Yes not good, keeping those revs up will put less strain on the engine as the cylinder pressures will be lower.

When you go down a gear, would you just let the gear in slowly with the clutch or would you downshift and then blip the accelerator to get the revs high and then let the gear in?

I had my first ride on mountain roads, I was kinda scared (but I'm pretty sure I was doing the right thing) coz I can hear the engine roaring and maxing out at around 2.5k RPM, sometimes even 3k RPM; I was at 3rd gear. Also there was a very steep downhill, and I was hesitating to use 1st or 2nd gear because I'm afraid the engine would reach 4k RPM and wreck my car's engine. I ended up just helping the car slow down by applying brakes periodically and just hard as necessary.

4000rpm is absolutely fine with a warm engine, the engine can safely take up to the red line. Best let it warm up first before using higher revs though.

Can be pretty scary for anyone. I've had my license a couple of years and only just now started adventures up inclines and ranges. My auto is a 4l inline 6 and I had to drop the gear from drive to second or it keep going slower uo the hill. I feel like the manuel i have would do it easier at only 2.4l will be a lot more careful though that's for sure lol once the 4l ford was dropped to second though no hill could stop it taking off lol.

I know that many people have problems starting a manual car on a hill without stalling , but my problem was continuing on a steep hill without stalling. I went on a ferry yesterday and got on a very steep ramp to go from one level to the one above. I went up the ramp slowly and my car was getting slower so I gave it more gas. It kept getting slower so I gave it more gas until the gas petal was pushed all the way down. That still wasn’t enough power so my car stalled halfway up. I don’t understand how I could have avoided this because my car was already in the lowest gear possible (first gear). I also was moving the whole time until it stalled so I am not sure what I could have done. The only thing I could think of is that I increased the gas too slowly, until it was too late. Perhaps I should have approached the ramp at a higher speed so that the momentum would have allowed me to go up the ramp without stalling. However, if I am in a ferry, I don’t feel it is safe to approach the ramp at a high speed in an enclosed area. I also think that if you approach a very steep uphill ramp too fast, the headlights may smash into the ramp floor. Another theory I have is that maybe my car just doesn’t have enough power. It is a 2008 Opel Corsa. Perhaps the ferry ramp was not built to code and was too steep. The ferry was rented to us in Malta from Greece last year and it was already 33 years old. Complaints were originally made that it wasn't handicap accessible so it had to be upgraded. If you think that the problem was my driving technique, then what should I do differently? If you think that the problem is my car, then what do you think is the problem with it?

Don't drive into it quickly, that could easily damage your car. Unfortunately I can't comment as I haven't seen how steep it is and I wasn't there. In my experience most cars would wheel spin if you gave maximum gas in 1st gear on a very steep incline. However if you were on a high grip surface in a car with less than 130nm of torque and your revs were very low what you said makes sense. The solution would be to get a run up but if it's very steep you could damage the car.

@@ConquerDriving Thanks for the reply. It took a while but I found an image of the ramps from the ferry. Here is a link from youtube.: kzbin.info/www/bejne/qJ3MZZaIo6h0edE&feature=emb_logo Skip to 39 seconds and you should actually see the ramps from different angles and hopefully that will allow you to get a better idea of how to advise me. If you don't think the ramp is too steep then how should I avoid stalling my car on the ramp the next time?

I don't have a video about that, if it's possible try to be more diagonal where it usually scrapes, this should reduce the chances of scrapping.
