This video will provide you with a step-by-step guide
on how to complete a hill start. First,
use the handbrake to secure the vehicle then push the clutch in,
select for first gear and then apply some pressure to the accelerator pedal
slowly begin to release the clutch
to the friction or balance point. Now you can recognize that point by a
change in the engine's pitch. With the clutch
at this friction or balance point slowly
release the handbrake and increase pressure on the accelerator pedal
the vehicle should remain stationary. Now slightly release the clutch
and balance the vehicle for about two seconds and
as the vehicle starts to move forward increase pressure
on the accelerator pedal and move up the hill. Ensure you practice this
maneouver in a quiet back street area
before implementing the skill into heavier traffic. So stay safe
and happy driving
