Hill start in automatic cars?

Question

I am learning to drive in an automatic car.Could anyone please tell me how to perfrom a proper hill start.A step by step direction would be appreaciated.I am clueless and tend to roll the car back a little bit.

Answer 1

On an automatic transmission vehicle hold the brake with your left foot and shift in Drive. Step on the accelerator (about 1/3 of the pedal move) and smoothly release the brake.

It's better to practice this on a desolate slope until you get the knack of it, instead of waiting for a stoplight with all the others cars honking behind you.

When you have mastered pulling off on a slope the car will not rollback at all.

Answer 2

use your left foot on the brake and right foot on the gas pedal.

release your left foot when u step on the gas pedal with your right foot.

thats what i do when i start on a very steep hill

Answer 3

Hold the car using the foot brake with your right foot. Just anticipate the traffic lights changing or the car in front moving  & move your right foot quickly to the accel pedal & gently squeeze.  It does take a little bit of skill but youll get used to it.  Dont worry about the car rolling back 10-20 mm. Good luck!

Answer 4

Keep your foot on the brake as you give it the gas--the car will roll back only a few inches--no big deal--you will get better as you get experience. good luck

Answer 5

get out there and practice

Answer 6

I've been told it's possible, but very difficult.
