[QUOTE="gendong, post: 594452, member: 22402"] D is mostly used for relaxed or normal driving. Going up a steep climb, you are exerting extra load/pressure/stress to the gearbox as a whole. From experience, going up Genting, with some incline reaching up to 30 degrees at some corners/stretches, would be advisable to manually shift the gears. I do. Shifting into low gears would channel the appropriate amount of power or traction needed to complete the climb. Not just Genting, but same goes to the climb towards the Menora tunnel (NKVE, north bound after Jelapang or vise versa from Kuala Kangsar), I would manually shift gears. I'm no sifu nor an expert, but that's how I drive. [/QUOTE]
