For Auto car, is it still maintain at D ? Or need to shift to lower gear 2 or 1 ?

I try at D, sometimes at steeper slope, the RPM shot up...

D is normal drive, computer shift gear according to speed. Higher speed = higher gear. You don't want that going down hill. Downhill must have engine braking using low gear, some AT car can go down to 1, but nowadays probably only down to 2 only.

Up slope with D, computer sense not enough torque then will auto drop gear to give torque / acceleration so revs go up.

All normal unless for whatever reason you drive until red line

So, meaning, going downhill with steeper slope, AT car needs to shift to lower gear eg. 2 or 1, right?

Recently, I experience AT car going downhill at Cameron Highland with D Gear, the RPM shot up and car like want to rush forward (lost control)...
