Why does your air conditioner change from the vents on the dash to your defroster vents when going up a hill?
This is a vacuum issue, as your demand on the engine increases (power to climb the hill) so does the vacuum created by the engine by increased acceleration...this causes the vacuum operated controls in the airbox to switch position.

Why do you shift down when going up a hill?
The downshift causes the engine to turn at a slower rate. This causes the wheels of the car and the engine to be more similar and gives more of an emphasis on producing power versus a top speed which is achieved in a higher gear. Alternate answer: An internal combustion engine only develops power when it is turning between a narrow band of revs. usually between 3000 and 6000 rpm on the average car. The hill puts a heavy load on the engine and causes it to slow down. Shifting to a lower gear (actually a higher gear ratio), allows the engine to speed up and develop more power to cope with the hill.

Does It matter if you have a small engine going down steep hills in second gear?
