Yes, pressing the clutch when on a steep hill is important, especially if you're driving a manual transmission vehicle. It allows you to disengage the engine from the wheels, giving you better control when starting or stopping on an incline. However, be cautious not to hold the clutch down for too long to avoid unnecessary wear; instead, use the brake or engage the handbrake to prevent rolling back.

Why does a hill have steep sides?

A hill has steep sides because of how the hill formed it formed with steep sides. I don't agree. Hills have steep sides because of the Earth's plates. When the plates push against each other, they sometimes push up, creating a hill or a mountain. Whether the hill has steep sides or not depends on the factors such as weathering and erosion, and on quite simply how it forms.

What does the clutch start cancel button do on a 1992 Toyota Tacoma 4X4 and how do you use it?

The clutch start cancel button will eliminate the need to press the clutch in to start the truck. This is useful in mostly offroad situations where pushing in the clutch to start the truck might allow the truck to roll from a precarious position such as off of a rock or back down a hill. You are starting the truck "in gear" so that there is no jerky movements with engaging the clutch. This works best when in the transfer case is in Low. The front hubs should also be locked. To use when on a steep hill or crawling over rocks: * keep your foot on the brake. * press the clutch start cancel button. * turn the key to start the truck. * as the truck begins to move, ease up on the brake to allow the truck to move forward and start. * as the truck starts apply the accelerator pedal as needed to keep you going and prevent stalling. * If you stall it's OK, just keep using the clutch start cancel button until you are out of the situation
