How to Drive Downhill Like a Pro - Driving Instructor Explains

Jacqueline will go through how to drive downhill with an automatic transmission in this learn to drive series. She will also share her best tips for driving downhill safely as a new driver.
If you are living in a city, chances are that there are some hills. So, it's very important that you know how to drive uphill and downhill properly. If you don't, you can burn out your brakes.
The general idea is that you want the vehicle to do much of the work when driving down a hill, this is generally achieved by using specific gears. You will also need to watch your speed and start braking in time to come to a safe stop.

Thank you for your helpful video... I been looking high and low on internet for over a year for how to drive safely down hill. . Thank you again

[@classic_nymph]

Thanks for the clear explanation, Jacqueline! Keep up!

[@AceKylar]

great video explaining the situation to use such function in a car if so equipped. I originally came here to learn how to drive downhill fast, but I guess this improves my knowledge on everyday driving, thanks.

[@Zutobi_US]

Glad you enjoyed it, and thanks for your comment. Welcome back ;)

[@lucas_wald]

This was great! Thank you!

[@rubyrose7858]

Wonderful video! I graduated from driving school earlier this month and unfortunately, I only learned how to drive up and downhill for an hour. The driving instructor wasn’t very great (quite emotional) so it was difficult to understand how engine braking worked. Your video helped a lot and now I feel better about driving on the long slope outside of my house 😆 Thank you so much!

[@Zutobi_US]

Congrats on graduating from driving school! 🚗 I'm delighted to hear the video was helpful in understanding downhill driving and engine braking. If you have more questions or need further tips, feel free to ask. Happy driving!

[@ngoryachev]

Nice tutorial, not many ppl know about such things. If you use manual gear that skill become even more essential. In mountains you're just impossible to use your breaks all the time because they can fail (become too hot). Thank you!

[@Zutobi_US]

Thanks for sharing!

[@virginiathomason-zolli]

[@begmatjonhakimov6028]

Tank you in advance for my question I live in Uzbekistan, I go down a 200 km mountain hill, when I go down, my speed increases too much, it is impossible to control, my score is 3, but the speed is 80 km per hour, sometimes I press the brake, but it is very annoying because the brake system is hot it goes out of order quickly, what advice can you give me, in such situations, my car is a mechanical gearbox

[@Rain-ec4jj]

Hello, should I put on neutral gear when I'm on flat road?

[@whoeverwhoever400]

what if i am driving an electric car? do i have to burn the brakes?

[@rinaldocanoso158]

Thanks from Brazil...

[@suthipongsechhun6826]

Need more video How to Drive Uphill. Thanks

[@kiertrad6250]

So when driving downhill, i dont hit the gas pedal and just allow the car to free roll while on Low gear? I'm s tudent driver so it will be a big help if i get some answers. THANK YOU

[@PITU-f7f]

Do I need to press the brakes before changing to B?

[@user-sv8uj5gn2c]

This is excellent learning content! Thanks for the work you've done :+1:

[@Zutobi_US]

Thank you very much!

[@Edgar5101]

Wow that street is the reason i looked for a video to show my wife on how and why to use that L botton.😅😂
Great video! 👍

[@windyrainStorm]

Any tips on driving snowy road or slippery road?

[@1Kellapitter]

Does this work on Highways, like in Arizona for example? I was on vacation driving in Arizona on a highway and was breaking the entire time going 60mph while I noticed other vehicles didn't have their break lights on.

[@christineschmidutz5057]

This is the exact Sebago scenario that brought me here. I am confused because low gear is for slower speeds. But in AZ the freeways are down hill from the Grand Canyon all the way to sedona & I'd like to master that on the freeway

[@maymei6742]

If your vehicle is an automatic transmission when you change from D to L do you need to press on break pedal before changing gear and vice versa.. Thank you

[@ziyue9725]

No need

[@christophercolumbus8944]

low gear but not necessarily first gear?? ?? can you be more specific ?

[@gauravkalidass]

Aunty, will you be able to make a video on how to navigate that particular round about at the bottom of the hill? That roundabout still gives me nightmares.

[@Zutobi_US]

Hey! For now we only have this version czcams.com/video/XJqrNsUicV8/video.html - another type of video with many visualizations. Good luck!

[@serumonxbox]

driving back home to arizona from ohio in about 4-5 months (my first time ever driving this far) im so afraid of driving downhill! i never even heard of low gear before i drive a 2012 honda civic im so nervous 😬

[@derekehardy373]

How was the trip?

[@RS09523]

Anyone has a Toyota? On Toyota it’s S. Which S for up hill/downhill?

[@bsespi]

Are you in a car with a cvt?

[@sc9361]

I love her voice!

[@GabbyHernandez-wu7uz]

I need up hill

[@hhusban4118]

Berkeley hills

[@DJSTOEK]

💘

[@michelejohnson5497]

I drive a Class B RV van and if I tap on the brakes too much going downhill, they will overheat, so I was told to put my vehicle in a lower gear until I reach the bottom of a steep hill.😊🚐
