In what direction is the force to be applied.?


Since the  car is moving up with constant speed then the net upward force must balance the net frictional force...

I think this is thesituation described in your problem:

michele_laino · Answer

where F_1 is the force due to slope, 
F_f is the force due to friction, so by the newton first law, the motion of your car at constant speed is possible if and only if
$$F _{1}+F _{f}=P$$
