You are speaking about the different gear shifts... Drive, 1st, 2nd, and sometimes 3rd gears on an automatic vehicle. Drive should be used most of the time and the other gears only when hauling heavy weight or climbing steep terrains. You should adjust them according to speed. 1st gear going the slowest.

In witch gear should you drive when going up a steep hill?

When driving up a steep hill, you should use a lower gear, such as first or second gear, depending on the steepness of the incline and your vehicle's power. This allows the engine to produce more torque, helping maintain speed without straining the engine. Using a lower gear also provides better control and traction on the incline. Avoid shifting to a higher gear, as it can cause the engine to stall or lose power.

In which gear should you drive when going down a steep hill?

Use a low gear. Which gear you should use depends on how steep a hill you are talking about and also how far down does the hill go. and are you using a standard or automatic transmission. Common sense should tell you to use a lower gear if the vehicle accelarates to much.


Should you remain in drive when going up a hill or should you shift down a gear?

It depends on how steep the hill is and how heavy your vehicle is. If you find that when going up the hill in second gear you are getting too many RPM's, then yes shift up to third. But generally you should keep in the lowest gear possible, without overrevving the engine, especially if you're driving a loaded van or other heavy car.


What gear should you drive going down a steep hill?

Traditionally, you would've been told to use the same gear you went up the hill in to go down the hill. However, it may be necessary to drop a gear, given that modern vehicles are much more aerodynamic than previous vehicles were.
