How to do a hill start in a manual car the easy way | 4 ways to do a hill start without stalling UK

Why are you driving then if you don’t know how to hill start?

I just want to say I absolutely agree with you man , I learnt everything thing from Mr Zondo driving is just I still struggle will hill's and getting used to the clutch.❤😂and I think is about 9 t0 10 times watching this video because I feel there's something I didn't get right. 😭 great video ❤.

[@nickt423]

This is the best hill start video I've seen! Better to see multiple techniques then decide what works best.

[@ZONDOdriving]

Thank you. Glad you liked it. Which way do you prefer?

[@nickt423]

@@ZONDOdriving New to standard, so I'm still feeling it out. Shortly after watching your video, I found out my car has hill assist. That may be the way to go, but I still want to learn each method. My parking brake is set up slightly different (not a hand brake) but I think that could work as well.

[@rahulk2633]

I've watched over hundreds of driving tutorials and 3:51 is a point I've never heard anyone mention and it was driving me crazy on why I couldn't notice the car dipping when using this technique, thank you so much for this.

[@KairaJoanne]

I’ve been driving for 5yrs with a manual but im used to cars with bigger engine displacements from 2.0L and above. Got a new w car recently which is a toyota wigo and y’all know its engine displacement is only 1.0L 😂 i had to watch the video because i live in an area going up hill and I’ve had lots of trouble recently with my wigo since it doesn’t have enough power with releasing the clutch alone… you really gotta step on the gas to make it move forward. anyway… very helpful video. Thanks for the techniques! (I already knew the techniques from the video a long time ago but i still seem to can’t get it right… but now i can after watching the video… i already know what my mistakes were while doing the techniques. thank you again 😁)

[@ZONDOdriving]

Hi Kaira. Glad to hear the video was helpful. I can imagine it's very difficult to go from such a big Litre to a much smaller engine. Mine is a 1L too but luckily it's got a turbo so it acts more like a 1.4

[@Jeremyb2023]

Thanks for the video. I've got a Nissan van with a pull and twist sort of hand brake. I also live in a country with a lot of hills and mountains. I have had some difficulty and doing hill starts on some of the steep hills. My vehicle also does not have an anti-roll back feature. Up til now, I've been doing the balance method, but the vehicle rolls back very quickly and I occasionally stall or squeal the wheels. I've been learning to quickly press the gas, but slowly release the clutch. This has been the best for me so far... only problem is I might roll back a foot or foot and a half. I think I'm going to try the footbrake method by getting the clutch to the bite point (or close to it) before moving my foot from brake to gas... hopefully I'll get this. Thanks for the video as it has been very informative.

The handbrake technique is going to work est on my school.

[@Ricky-eg3wd]

Hello Sir. Should i release the clutch fully when doing downhill? Because yesterday i didnt release the clutch and the car going so fast like in neutral gear. Thanks

[@ZONDOdriving]

It depends what you speed you're trying to achieve

[@Benj654]

So with the footbrake one, can you hold the car stationary with just the clutch without it rolling back, or do you need a little bit of gas too? (Obvs more gas to get it moving)

[@ZONDOdriving]

It's not so much about adding gas to get it moving, you bring the clutch a little higher to get it moving. A common mistake from learners is thinking that adding more gas will get it moving forward but if your clutch is not at the biting point, the car wont move no matter how much gas you put on. Hope that helps. 👍🏾

[@aos_mkwii]

Bro how to get the feeling of the biting point?

[@SmanzikMandu]

Be patient mate

[@fearfulcheese3333]

Can you go to the bitting point, then move to gas quickly? Does it burn the clutch while waiting to move on..

[@ZONDOdriving]

Yes you can. That's the way most people drive. You won't burn it if you're not at the biting point for too long. Hope that helps. 😁

[@klee6169]

hie quick question. for hill start my instructor taught me the handbrake method without using the gas. it by letting the clutch do all the work . Where by i stop and engage the handbrake then bring the clutch to be biting point the without touchich the accelarator i let the handbrake down and the car starts moving forward is it hihly recommended or i have i chances of stalling.

[@ZONDOdriving]

You're more likely to stall that way. Also the car you're learning can probably handle that but another car might not be able to. If you have a lot of weight in the car, clutch only is not that good.

[@christinemungate5164]

Watching all the way From Zimbabwe, on the handbrake method , what happens if I don't use gas?. Can the car go up , with Clutch release only

[@ZONDOdriving]

Hello and glad to see this is reaching as far as Zim. Theoretically it's possible to do it without the gas, but you're more likely to stall that way. Especially if you have a heavy load in your car or a weak clutch. Are you learning to drive at the moment?

[@lorenzocordero1456]

thought this burns the clutch

[@ZONDOdriving]

Clutches don't burn as easily as people think

[@judx34]

I normally do the clutch and brake then gas.. Lo and behold, I rolled back today in my 12 yrs.. Never happened before, However it's a different car and tryna get used to it

[@ZONDOdriving]

You will get used to it in no time! 😁

[@EctoPlasmic]

So if I'm using Hill assist, can I bring clutch to bite point before letting go of the footbrake and then go for gas? Also, would this technique burn the clutch?

[@ZONDOdriving]

Yes you can do that. It only burns the clutch if you hold high above the biting point while you're braking or have the gas on for too long. For a short time it's fine and it's how most people drive.
