With the rapid growth of the number of people using automatic transmission cars in modern society, we can't help but sigh: there is a huge difference in driving control between automatic transmission cars and manual transmission cars! Among them, the slightest carelessness may lead to a heroic sacrifice! So, for those automatic transmission owners who enjoy unparalleled driving fun, how can they ensure driving safety?
The first point worthy of the warning of the majority of car owners and friends is: it is strictly forbidden to slide in neutral! Many people have the misconception that coasting in neutral helps save energy and reduce emissions, but in fact this concept is wrong! For automatic transmission vehicles, if the neutral coasting mode is adopted, not only can not achieve significant fuel saving effect, but may also cause great harm to the automatic transmission system! The driver's long-term use of neutral coasting will cause the oil pressure in the hydraulic pipe inside the automatic transmission to gradually decrease, which will not only increase the friction resistance and reduce the lubrication effect, but also cause corrosive wear to the friction plates inside the automatic transmission.
Next, let's move on to parking. Here, automatic transmission owners need to perform very different tasks than manual transmission owners. In the face of parking demand, regardless of the degree of parking, the automatic transmission owner first needs to press the brake pedal, switch the gear to N gear, and then pull the handbrake to release the brake pedal, and then turn to P gear after the car body is stable and stationary. Developing this kind of parking habit can effectively avoid the automatic stalling phenomenon caused by sudden braking and excessive wear and tear on the tires.
In the process of daily driving, it is often encountered that it is necessary to accelerate and shift gears. Manual transmissions can easily shift gears as long as they maintain enough rpm, but automatic transmissions are a bit more complicated. If you press the throttle deep in pursuit of high gear, the result is often disappointing.
In fact, the shift program for automatic transmission models is set to:"Frustrated downshift, refueling upshift"mode. In this setting, the driver should relax the throttle moderately so that the system automatically recognizes that the range is no longer sufficient and can improve the speed of gear changes. Remember! It is strictly forbidden to press the accelerator to the end, otherwise it will be forcibly engaged in low gear, which will easily cause damage to the transmission.
The last thing to emphasize is the issue of hill starts. Despite the excellent ride and comfort advantages of automatic transmissions, it is difficult to avoid sliding in some special situations. For example, if an automatic transmission is parked on a steep slope and the gravity is beyond the "margin" of idle power, the car may still slide forward even if you step on the accelerator. In order to ensure driving safety, it is best to use the handbrake to assist the start at this time to prevent accidents.
The above are all matters that automatic transmission owners should pay close attention to and driving skills during driving. I hope that all car owners and friends will pay attention to these points and strictly abide by the driving regulations, so that your car will not be harmed and enjoy the joy of worry-free driving.
