- You may have heard that hill starts can be tricky. They can be in a manual car, as it requires good coordination and a lot of practice. However, hill starts are far easier in an automatic car - as it’s almost impossible to stall the engine or roll backwards. In this video we will show how to do a hill start in an automatic car, so you can feel confident next time you’re pulling away uphill at a busy junction.

Perfect!
I’ve just ordered my first automatic car after having only owned and driven manual cars for 20 years. I live in an extremely hilly part of Wales and this video was incredibly informative as I’ve never driven an automatic before and it has answered all of my questions.
We’re sure you will enjoy the smoothness!
San Francisco also has its hills although by no means, even among cities in English-speaking parts of the world, is it alone. Toronto, the capital of Ontario, Canada, also has although I live in a part of the city that has only a handful of hills within reasonable walking distance of my residence.
It’s the best thing I did ! After getting stuck up a hill in the snow /Ice scared to move 🤣. I was fine for ages but hill anxiety is creeping back in .
But the first part of that video “ it’s almost impossible to roll back in an auto was heaven ! .
This video has answered most of my questions. When I finally purchase an electric car in the next two years having only driven a manual the only question I have is if you are on a hill facing down and cars are parked close in front of you and behind you and you need to go forward and back to get out of the tight spot that would be a major worry for me in an automatic, whilst in a manual it is simple.
This channel has been so helpful with my driving also in passing my lesson a year ago for the first time, Thanks so much your channel is a life saver 🙌
This is an excellent, informative video. Years ago, I had an old car that, in spite of having an automatic transmission, would roll backward if stopped on an uphill grade, and required a simultaneous use of the brake and accelerator for an instant. Once when I was invited to a colleague's home, I had to explain why I had to park in the street, because the car couldn't negotiate the steep grade of the driveway!
Love your videos. So informative. Resuming my automatic lessons after a 2 year lockdown break. Its always great to get a refresher course online. Thank you.
This the video I been looking for!!! I’m a new driver and my car got a small engine. It’s almost impossible not to roll back on every hill. This makes me panic a lot and messes up the rest of my driving cus I get so tensed. I hope I can drive confidently going forward as I’ll practice what I’ve just learnt here.
😯....I feel exactly the same!!! I get so tensed .. going up any Hills
I look for other ways to avoid it
Either use the parking brake to hold the car until it is moving , or use both feet , holding the brake with your left foot until you have applied enough power to move off .
The second very steep hill method worked for me. Thank you!
I passed in manual but i decided to drive automatic, thank you so much for this information
you traitor!!!!!!
Why’d u do that
@@zukhrufhussain2271 cause I'm 58 and like an easy life
I passed 3 years ago in a manual, now drive automatic, it's just a nicer drive especially in a newer car, get in accelerate and break! I've let a few of my friends and family try it and they all love it aswell!
Connor McSorley
Thats what I plan to do.
I don’t understand the UKs stigma toward auto
I've been driving for 20 years, but have never driven an automatic in all that time. I have a test drive of a new car tomorrow, and found this video when looking for tips. Thanks guys.
Have fun!
I've been driving manual for over 5 years now. It will be my first time driving an automatic video tomorrow morning. I will definitely follow the guidelines you have given me. Thank you in advance.
Good luck!
Have you braved it through a carwash yet? What gear???
Thanks! Seattle downtown steep hills had me searching for tricks. Kept rolling back at stop lights.
How to hill start an automatic: accelerator
Not necessarily, not all automatic transmissions are super reliable if they’re worn. And say you have to stop on a hill then go again? The foot break and/or e brake method are good tips if your transmission isn’t brand new and you don’t have a car with “creep”.
@@melinda6086 if you have a torque converter you allways have the creep.
@@melinda6086 yes, necessarily
@@melinda6086 all autos will move without you touching the accelerator cause IAC idle air control valve still allows air to pass by the throttle to keep the engine at idle and that’s still enough to move the car
@@ryans413 not all autos do. Mine don't
Thanks, covered what I was looking for, steep hills; from 🇦🇺
Despite being pretty good I ask myself why I bother with a manual sometimes.
Fun
@@Walden-jx4mi i went automatic. Test drove it loved it. Not looking back
There really is no point anymore tbh, fuel efficiency and performance has caught up, electric cars are gonna be auto only anyway, might as well get used to it now.
I drove manual for a couple of years. Hated it, legs cramps, stalls and all that. Bought an automatic vestra and I love it
I've been driving manual for 5 years now and I still don't like doing hill starts or start stop traffic. Looking into buying a newish VW Polo with a DSG box as they are supposed to be some of the best auto transmissions for the price.
Useful information as usual.
Thanks very much.
You're the best!!!
Thank you. Very helpful.👍🏼
Thanks so much. Only had my car one week and very stressed over hill starts as my drive on a slope. I will need to keep brake on when reversing, either with foot or electric hand brake. Thanks so much for explaining that it’s ok to do this.
been teaching manual since 2010 and now bought my first Auto car to teach in. i love how smooth my new car is for me and pupils plus no stalling and jolting and i massive win NO CLUTCH!!!. I have noticed my pupils getting after 2 hour lessons mpg of 100+ and avarage of 97.2mpg. i wont go full ev yet tho as i live in a flat and the range is to low for confort plus should not have to puplic charge at higher rate when other can charge at home for much cheaper. look forward to owning a full ev in future tho.
It’s so much nicer to teach in an automatic car without all of the clutch and gear mistakes! Our blue Leaf has a range of 240 miles, which is plenty for a days lessons - however being able to charge at home is currently the key to it all. Hopefully the public charging network will continue to expand so that everyone can charge away from home as easily as they currently buy petrol. 👍🏼
Thank you. Really helpful.
Hello There, thank you for producing this, this is really useful. It's much appreciated. Cheers Peter :)
4:39 This is such a great tip! Thanks
Super information..🥰
Your videos are great I'm a few years away from driving but there so helpful gets you ready for when you start driving I've seen most of your amazing vids . I would love too see everyday driving with a clutch camera it would be so helpful 👍❤
We have a whole playlist about using the clutch! ua-cam.com/play/PLzlPScQvpv6khFJBLbYjFXguCEHm4_w30.html
Amazing explanation thank ma'am.
Perfect video thank u
This video is fantastic. Thank you!
Glad you liked it!
Very nice helpful video Big Thanks for sharing
This is very useful video...👍
Thank you, I searched many videos finally found, coze I want make sure that I follow right way to climb up my car on hill, coze to drive my house I have to climb up with mountain with narrow , cannot get it done with one shot, so I always come narrow and press breaks , and release it slowly with gas 😀, thx again
Thanks alot
Frankly speaking your videos are very superb and informative. Please I will like you to do a video on how to reverse uphill and downhill in a manual car..
Thanks for the idea 👍🏼
Brilliant vid, thanks had real dilemma with hilstart with Toyota Alphard because of foot operated handbrake! After 50 years with manual gears and conventional hand brake it was a problem😢. Due to weight of Alphard converted camper creep function on hill start non existent. Thanks again.
Thanks was interested in an automatic but never driven one. Looks like this was filmed in Bury St Edmunds as well near me. Cheers!
Yes, we are based in BSE 👍🏼
OMG THANK YOU 😭😭 my test centre is next to a hill and I’m so scared cause I don’t know how to stop at the stop sign at the end of the hill cause the car kept rolling
I usually use hand brake and gaz to avoid rolling back but the thing is you need to use both at the same time.
4:00 for no creep function or very steep hill
I would like to try a electric car specially the Nissan Leaf But I really love the tips that you do you guys
We love our Leafs - and it would take a very special normal car to tempt us back!
@@AdvanceDrivingSchool Get a Tesla
We would - except dual controls aren't available for them yet 😞
Always find it strange to see them feeding the wheel. Here in Belgium, you are allowed to do that but, especially for sharp corners, it is advised to cross over your hands since this allows you to turn quicker and reduce the turning circle. My driving instructor taught me to cross my arms and if necessary even use one hand to quickly rotate the steering wheel (only one handed at slow speeds).
That's interesting, as we would suggest people 'feed the wheel' on tight corners for exactly the same reasons - it can be done quickly and precisely. In all honesty, it doesn't really matter which steering technique you prefer, as long as you can control the car properly.
Thanks for this video! I haven't ever had to do a hill start on a very steep hill so always quite anxious about this.
I have a question, I have a 1 litre C1 with hill start assist and when on a small incline in the past I have put on my handbrake and kept the car in drive. When I came off the brake to give it some gas before taking the handbrake off, the car had started to roll back so I had to slam my foot down to get going to avoid hitting the car behind me. I guess this means that the hill start doesnt work when the handbrake is applied? Would the car not roll back if I put it in neutral (no parking gear) and switched to drive? On hills in an auto do I need to put my handbrake on at all as I learnt to do this in my automatic lessons. Thanks!
In our experience hill start assist usually works when the handbrake isn't applied - it just holds the foot brake on longer as you move your foot to drive away. Maybe go somewhere quiet and hilly to practice - you could try using only the foot brake (to test hill start assist), the handbrake (like your lessons) or your left foot (as we showed). 👍🏼
Thank you very much for your helpful videos.I started my lesson 6 ✅ can you give any link where I get your all videos sequence
Just visit our UA-cam channel - all our videos are organised in playlists there :-)
Thank you so much. My toyota yaris roll back on hill and it is automatic. But my instructor car did not roll back.
because driving schools have powerful engines on their cars... I drove a 1.6 Diesel Toyota Manual and when I passed and started with a 1.0 Petrol car, the difference was huge...
If you want easy starts go with cars with higher torque.
Maybe it had hill start assist
I gave up manual. I will focus on auto now. 🤦🏻♀️
Same
Great that you’re focusing on the future rather than mastering a technology well past its use by date. What next, typewriter maintenance in the era of laptops 😂
My 2011 Toyota Auris has an MMT gearbox. The car will roll back on any hill. Also it has no electronic parking brake or creep function. I found myself in a situation when I had to stop on a really steep hill. When was time to go I pressed the gas pedal but the car keep rolling back so I had to floor the gas pedal and only then I managed to stop rolling and go forward. Would you recommend using both brake and gas at the same time to avoid this? Also with down hill I use manual mode to engine brake.
You might need to experiment - but we would use the handbrake to hold the car on the hill, press the accelerator, and then release the handbrake once we can feel the drive from the engine.
Hello thanks for this amazing video i have been looking for... I have some worries please help me with an explanation....i drive automatic and have this challenge when descending a hill ...i brutally match the foot breaks please is there any other option i can use to slow down the speed without using footbreaks cuz it got me scared
This video might help: ua-cam.com/video/sFCF2lv8EbA/v-deo.html 👍🏼
How about reversing uphill in an automatic? I had an issue when I rented an automatic a couple of years ago when I was on a very steep hill, trying to reverse. I had a car in front of me very close, parked and went very close to it a couple of times before I was able to engage reverse and pull away from it. I've got to say, the most confusing thing was that the handbreak was one of those button handbreaks so it's either on or off, can't gauge like a normal old school handbrake. What's your advice? Can you guys make a video on it? Thanks
Once you know that the electric handbrake will automatically release its easy. Leave the handbrake on, select reverse, press the accelerator - and you’re off!
Here's a video i'd like you to cover is possible. There's something about automatic cars these days that's drawing my attention. Dual-Clutch Automatic. What's the difference between that and regular automatic transmission?
There are many different types of automatic transmission - such as dual clutch, torque converter, single clutch automated manual, constantly variable, fixed ratio.... but the gear selector that the driver uses are generally similar. As long as it has P R N D somewhere we should be fine to drive normally whatever is going on under the bonnet 👍🏼
@@AdvanceDrivingSchool What I meant was, if you had Dual-Clutch Automatic, does that mean you would have to use that extra clutch to change the gear like in a manual car?
No - it's all managed by the transmission. We just drive the car like any other automatic 👍🏼
My car has small engine and it rolls back in hill traffic when traffic is slow. I apply hand break on steep junctions and it works but in slow moving traffic going uphill I rolls back when I lift off foot. I have test in three days and I’m taking this car for test. Please need advice
Maybe use the handbrake more often. Also consider the left foot method as shown in the video? Good luck 🤞🏼
Thank you very much for this extremely informative video. 🙌🙌🙌 Out of interest, do you prefer the traditional handbrakes or the modern electronically controlled parking brakes and why? What do you students prefer?
The only problem with a manual handbrake is that students often fail to fully release them, and then the car starts beeping at them! In contrast an electric parking brake will release itself as we drive away - so I would prefer that system. Our pupils have never had to choose - as our manual cars have always had a normal handbrake, and our new cars that have electric brakes are automatic.
On a matic car, against a very steep hill. Should we change the gear manually or wait until the engine change the gear into a lower one. I read an article which said that we should manually lower the gear. Is it true?
The car should know which gear is best for going up hills normally. It’s when driving down hill that we often manually select a lower gear to increase the engine braking effect.
Please do more automatic videos
No problem - what would you like us to film?
@@AdvanceDrivingSchool how to handle slow moving traffic on an uphill road.
Just drive normally - the fact you're on a hill doesn't really matter in an automatic 👍🏼
Advance Driving School just general driving, I’m 17 in august and already have a car, so just general how to control the car and if there’s any major differences between auto and manual thank you😀
It sounds obvious, but an automatic car is the same as a manual car, except for the gearbox. This means that the car will choose and control it’s gears for you - but everything else will be the same. The driver will still have to operate all the other car controls in exactly the same way as they would in a manual car - so all of our other videos showing how to steer a car, brake progressively or maintain good road position are still relevant. Just ignore anything about clutch control or gear selection!
Question - while watching your videos we saw a few mock tests, in them some of the drivers let the steering wheel slide through their hands after turning, but the instructor didnt mention it, is letting it slide instead of feeding it now acceptable in the driving test ?
My wife is learning to drive, but because of the lockdown there is no lessons, so i have been teaching her, in the mean time she has been watching your and another channels videos to learn, so want her to learn the right things and iron out any habits, as some things are different to when I learnt in 91.
In the UK the examiner on a Driving Test will be marking your control over your car, not how you hold the steering wheel. Crossing your hands or letting the wheel slip a little will not be a problem unless it leads to a loss of control. Good luck with everything!
@@AdvanceDrivingSchool Thank you, really appreciate the reply, my wife didnt want to learn back in 91 when I did mine, now regrets not doing it, but she cannot get on with the gears, so we got an auto for her to learn in, the wheel sliding was one of the things that has changed since I did mine, along with 3 point turns and reversing into a side road, although I am still learning her those, as you never know.
Hello,I find your videos to be very instructive and simple.I have one query, does the creep functionality also depend upon the load being carried by the car?Lets say if there are 4 passengers and luggage.Will the car tend to roll back on a hill or will the creep functionality keep it static (or maybe even push it ahead) when starting from stop?
It is hard to know for sure, but the creep seems to have a set amount of 'drive' - so if the hill is steep enough the car will roll back if the parking brake isn't used.
@@AdvanceDrivingSchool Thanks for the response.Perhaps it will be useful to add that caveat in your video just to be sure the readers don't get the wrong impression that creep will move the vehicle forward on reasonable incline irrespective of the load it's carrying.Just my thoughts :-)
Should have been viewers instead of readers I guess :-)..anyways
If you watch the section of the video about very steep hills, we explain that "Sometimes the hill can be so steep, that the car’s ‘creep’ isn’t strong enough to prevent the car from rolling backwards."
@@AdvanceDrivingSchool Will review that.Thanks.I have one other newbie query.Is there a (easy/quick) way for new learners to know if their foot is on the brake or accelarator in a tight situation when something momentarily distracts their focus?
I understand undivided attention is paramount and non-negotiable when one is behind the wheel.Do experienced drivers trust entirely on muscle memory to bail them out in such situations?
my absolute top 1 fear, rolling down the hill. its so bad i always get nightmares of it 😞
Hi guys, please I want to find out when climbing a hill which gear do you have to use and when descending a hill which gear do you use. Thank you 😊🙌💕✨
Just let the car decide which is the best gear 👍🏼
@@AdvanceDrivingSchool thank you 😊🙌💕✨
In an automatic car can you put the handbrake on while still being in Drive or you have to put it in Park first
You can use the hand/parking brake whilst in Drive - we mention in the video it’s one way of pulling away on very steep hills 👍🏼
Thanks for this my automatic is a small engine fiat 500 and rolls back on a hill
3:38 does this not dazzle following drivers at night?
It's only for a moment, so we don't think so. However, if we are stopping for longer we would select Neutral (and use the parking brake) or Park, so we don't have to keep the brake pedal pushed. You can do whatever you prefer 👍🏼
Can you do a VIDEO on BUSES.??
When the BUS stops and you DONT know when it's going TO pull out ... I get very😞 nervous
I'm always a bit worried by the time I get up to it, it's going to pull out.
In Australia , you have to give way to them.
Thanks for the idea. In the meantime we always try to pass a stationary bus if there is enough space to do so safely. However - once the bus indicates right we would give way and let them pull away. We can’t just sit behind a bus until it pulls away, as it might need to stop for some time and we would hold up traffic behind us for too long. 👍🏼
I'm new to driving an automatic and not sure how to reverse park uphill, my driveway is on a slope. Do I use foot brake or gas pedal to reverse park on a slope?
It’s the same as driving forwards uphill - push the accelerator to move the car, then push and hold the brake pedal to stop. 👍🏼
@@AdvanceDrivingSchool Thank you for your reply. The issue I have is, when I reverse uphill and I manoeuvre the steering wheel to turn into the space, my car rolls forward. I would then press the brake to stop it rolling forward and then press on the accelarator, but when I do this it speeds too quickly which is dangerous, as I feel like it loses control. I don't understand why it rolled forward when in reverse. Am I doing anything wrong, if so how do I stop this from happening? Thanks
Perhaps your car needs to have gentle pressure on the accelerator when creeping uphill. Some cars are easier than others!
Can I use parking button at a junction with uphill road? And then accelerate when signal turned green
You can use the handbrake / parking brake whenever you like. 👍🏼
@@AdvanceDrivingSchool I have Peugeot 3008 2011 with parking button. Is it not wrong to use parking button uphill to not rollback?
Why would it be wrong? Do whatever you need to do! 👍🏼
Hi mr good luck. Could you tell me which city are you doing please?
Thanks
We are based in Bury St Edmunds, Suffolk
I have learnt to drive an old manual car right now but when I get my license I will buy an automatic. I am wondering if you select the sports gear will it provide more power to start on big hills or it makes no difference?
Using sports mode will give more power and response, but at the cost of increased fuel consumption - so you must choose when you need to use it.
@@AdvanceDrivingSchool I mean if you do this only for hills and then turn to drive
The steep inclination is not high in this case. Can you suggest how to drive a 40 degree inclination in AMT cars?
In the same way - we just push the accelerator pedal a little harder and the car will move off as normal. 👍🏼
Can you advice how to take you automatic car safely through a pull through car wash? What gear should I select ?
Use D when you need to Drive forward!
No in a manual car I would use neutral when you get pulled through on those track things. That’s the thing I mean? I’ve saw to use park, but been told that’s like a second hand brake.. someone must have used a carwash in an automatic in the U.K. the car gets pulled through on a track
We have never seen a car wash where you get pulled through! In the UK all automatic car washes are different - you drive into it and stop. The wash takes place while we wait - and then we drive out afterwards.
@@AdvanceDrivingSchool There is a car wash in my neighborhood (Belgium) which pulls you through. You have to put the car in Neutral, leave the engine running and the windscreen wipers turned off, you can't brake or touch the steering wheel. Once its finished you put it back in D and drive away.
I drive a manual car because I know that children cannot even start it as it would immediately stall, not to mention performing a hill start or any other kind of start. It is an old diesel car that requires good gas to start and requires an easy and slow clutch release. That's why I prefer manual transmission. By the way, driving a manual car keeps you constantly aware due to the need for gear shifting.
Hi what are the show me tell me questions for an automatic car?
They are the same as any other car. Show Me Tell Me Questions: ua-cam.com/video/89q5qJzikwo/v-deo.html 👍🏼
Definitely in automatic car you dont need do much compared to a manual car. Ofcourse every manual car biting point will be different
Can we press gas and foot break same time in automatic car
We cover that in the video 👍🏼
Will the creep function work no matter how steep the hill is. Even at 45 degrees.
No - if it’s a super steep hill it will gently roll back. Then use one of the three options we explain later in the video 👍🏼
@@AdvanceDrivingSchool that's very much for the reply. I am getting my Kia Rio today and very excited. I enjoyed you video very much and at least we drive on the same side of the road LOL 😆 😀
Hi is hill start on automatic car is similar to normal pull away on automatic car?
Pretty much!
Can NA petrol auto cars creep uphill?
Yes - although it depends how steep the hill is!
I’m getting nervous on the hill starts even though I’ve a brand new car & im sure it has the creep function I keep thinking I need to give a big pedal push ! Noooo helo
Maybe go somewhere quiet and experiment?
0:27 "allmost" imposible to stall. Stall a brand new auto and ill give you 200 bucks
How about when you are carrying heavy load on a very steephill?
If the hill is super steep, then we would use one of the techniques shown in the video such as using the handbrake / left foot on the brake etc. 👍🏼
Keeping your foot on the brake while you're waiting in traffic keeps the brake lights on. This is my pet hate seeing bright lights in front of me while waiting and in the night it's blinding.
I find the creep function makes it very difficult when I'm reversing. I'm not used to this car, do I need to find a biting point on the brakes?
In an auto, we ‘drag’ the brakes a little to keep the car’s speed under control. Allowing the car to get to full speed in creep is a little too fast usually.
How would you for an emergency stop in an automatic car?
It’s exactly the same as a manual car - except you don’t need to push the clutch pedal.
Not all automatics have enough drive at idle to move uphill .
Instead of using only the right foot ; hold the brake with the left foot and apply a little power with the right foot ; you then release the brake to move off ; this is also the best way to control the car for low speed manoeuvring .
You were born with two feet - USE THEM .
We do show this in the video in the section from 3:55 👍🏼
My automatic car moves forward even when I put it in the reverse gear. Can you please tell me why? Thanks
It’s hard to say without being there - sorry.
Do you have electric car?
If your car has a dual-clutch transmission, it takes a moment to engage the gear. Therefore, on an uphill gradient in reverse, it will roll backward in reverse and on a downhill gradient it will roll forward in reverse. Check if your car has such a transmission.
Hi there, when do driving lessons resume thanks
We are hoping to start some time in July.
That will depend on any guidance the DVSA offer us.
What is Creep function means?
Creep is what happens when we select Drive and release the foot brake - the car will 'creep' forward gently on it's own. Perfect for manoeuvring or hill starts!
In your video about things never to do in an automatic you say don't press brake and accelerator at the same time. In this video you show pressing brake and accelerator at the same time. Is this a mistake or have I misunderstood.?
Using both pedals gently for a hill start is fine. Pressing both hard to launch the car is not!
Is this petrol or diesel engine ?
This car is electric, but drives in the same way as a normal car. 👍🏼
where is this place,
so beautiful 🥹
It’s Bury St Edmunds, in Suffolk. 👍🏼
hi, say you change from auto to manual as you drive. can you change back to auto while still driving (without stopping)? got an Aygo, if it helps. great video!
Yes, you can change between drive modes (full auto / manual / winter / sports etc) at any time while you drive. Just don't select reverse until you've stopped!
@@AdvanceDrivingSchool thanks!
I can’t even tell if that hill is going up or down it’s so flat
Also, why don't automatic cars stall or very rarely stall?
Manual cars normally only stall when the wrong gear is selected or the driver has poor clutch control. In an automatic car both of these tasks are taken care of by the car, so the engine should never stall - unless it has a fault of course!
I passed my driving test in a automatic
@@orangepenumbra2360 Its a lot quicker to learn how to control the car - but everything else is the same. Understanding the rules of the road, having good judgement at junctions and being able to drive independently is the same in any car, and that's why the Driving Test pass rate is the same for both manual and automatic cars.
i learnt in a manual and my licence is manual but i refuse to ever drive a automatic because i dont want to get complacent
What will you drive once every car is a hybrid or full electric model - as they are all automatic?
@@AdvanceDrivingSchool a motor bike. I'll learn how to ride one of them instead
They are going electric too! I'm sure there will be plenty of older vehicles for you to drive or ride though 👍🏼
I don't understand why you held the car with the foot pedal at the traffic lights. What if you were hit from behind? Or if your foot slipped? The car would move forward when somebody is crossing the road. Why did you not apply the handbrake?
Edit: You will also piss off the driver behind you if it was night time and your brake lights are constantly illuminated.
I'm not an advanced driver but I'd like to know the logic here as to why what you done in that video was appropriate, because personally I would apply the handbrake unless it was a simple touch stop with everything clear.
The reason that we don’t use the handbrake at traffic lights is that it has no benefit. The handbrake only brakes two wheels, so would take longer to stop the car after a collision than the foot brake, which brakes all four wheels. It is very unlikely that our foot would slip off the brakes (even in a collision) but even if we did release the brake pedal the car would only creep forward very slowly until we pressed it again. The brake lights staying illuminated at night is worth consideration, and in this case we prefer to select Park on the transmission, as this will hold the car stationary and allow the engine to idle in neutral - whereas if we simply apply the handbrake in Drive the engine is still under a little load, which wastes fuel. Ultimately it is up to you to decide when to use your handbrake, as there are no official rules about it’s use - we prefer to save it for when we park our car or need to do a very steep hill start.
Should you shift from drive the gear 3 on an automatic going up a steep hill or leave it in drive ? Been told you should switch into gear 3 when going up a steep hill??
In that situation the car should know best - so we would just leave it in Drive. 👍🏼
4:33 hold on .... Your other video says never ever press both pedals in an automatic ??
It’s OK in this situation - just avoid using both pedals to ‘launch’ the car!
@@AdvanceDrivingSchool ok, my new car when I get it has an auto hold feature, I guess it's the perfect solution to stopping on a hill short term ?
Hopefully :-)
Voiceover sounds like supernanny lol
...i thought you meant crash starting an automatic on a hill. woops
Hill start assist?
That's normally a feature on manual cars.
There's no real difference between a regular start and a hill start in an automatic imo.
Did yall see that gtr ?
What's a GRT?
@@AdvanceDrivingSchool GTR r35, my bad XD
Ha ha. No I didn’t - will have another look 👍🏼
I am a new driver and just bought a Renault Clio initiale(2010) automatic. When I am doing maneuroves and have it in 'drive' or 'reverse' it sometimes creeps forward/backwards but then stops and stays still so I have to press the accelerator to get it to move which makes it go too fast during the maneurove. Is using the brake during the maneurove stopping the creep function from working when I take my foot off it?
We haven’t driven that model of car, so don’t know. Does the car manual give any guidance?
