✓
B
Shift to the low gear after reducing the speed.
C
Shift to the low gear when the speed is too low.
D
Try to shift to the low gear not in order as much as possible.
ANSWER · A
Uphill resistance is high, so the speed of the vehicle generally decreases. If the gear remains in the previous position, the mismatch between speed and gear may cause stalling or even slipping. Only by shifting to a lower gear before the speed drops will the vehicle have greater power to climb the hill (low gear, high engine speed).
