Is it safe to take automatic transmission carslike Passo to extreme hilly areas?

AOA
Hopefully, all of you are doing well. I want the right guidance and suggestion that is the Toyota Passo 2009 Model with Automatic Transmission best o r not for traveling to remote hilly areas and hill tops like northern areas and Neelam Valley. If it can go then kindly suggest me the exact directions and precautionary measures to move towards those areas. Because, last year, I took that car in those areas and brake disks of the car were damaged and also faced many other issues like suspension arms etc. Kindly provide me suggestions. I will be thankful to you all,

Take it There is no problem.
Avoid driving in D in places with hills. Only S, o r if its really steep and youre really sluggish, its equal like maybe D2 o r maybe L.
Neelum isnt actually all that steep, Naran.
Use D2 o r L for the descent, depending on how steep it is, with the least amount of braking and the lowest gear possible.
You can travel practically everywhere in Pakistan if you can ascend Nathia Gali from the side facing Abbottabad.

When climbing, make an effort to keep moving. On a steep ascent, avoid coming to a static stop.

Yes, its not the perfect car for off-roading and particularly bad potholes. Get a mini-SUV o r SUV, like the Corolla, for its comfy suspension and elevated height.
