Correct answer
Gently in a higher gear, normally second, if suitable for that vehicle.
Very gently in a higher gear than usual, normally second if the vehicle and conditions permit. For the same engine torque this reduces driving force at the wheels compared with a lower gear. Follow manufacturer instructions; always using second or third is not mandatory and cannot guarantee preventing all slipping. Do not use full throttle.
