Now, automatic transmission is quite popular, even BYD F0 has AMT!
With an automatic transmission, it saves the trouble of frequent shifting and liberates the left foot, especially in traffic jams, which brings a sense of happiness. However, the manual mode of automatic transmission, many people do not catch a cold, but it also has such functions:
1. Acceleration When overtaking
2nd gear 7200 turns him! But you are just an automatic transmission. When trying to speed up and overtake, many people just kick the accelerator to the end, but the performance of the car is unsatisfactory, and the on-board computer is always half a beat slower in judging the driver’s intention. It is better to manually downshift a gear, increase the torque, make the car more “dynamic”, and easily complete overtaking.
2. When climbing long slopes and descending long slopes
Climbing long When going uphill, the load on the engine is relatively large, you can manually lower the gear, and use the high torque of the engine to maintain the climbing force. When going down a long slope, frequent braking is often required, which is easy to cause thermal attenuation of the braking system. If you use manual mode to lock the gear in resist (3rd gear), use the engine to brake, control the speed of the vehicle, and reduce the pressure on the braking system.
3. Start on ice and snow roads
On slippery roads such as ice and snow, when starting in D gear, it is easy to slip due to excessive throttle. At this time, it is necessary to manually shift the gearbox into 2nd gear to reduce the power loss caused by excessive torque and ensure the adhesion between the tire and the ground to start smoothly.
4. Mountain roads with undulating slopes
On undulating mountain roads , The speed of the vehicle is constantly changing, and at the same time, the gearbox is frequently shifting up and down, which will undoubtedly increase the wear and tear of the braking system and the gearbox. If you choose a reasonable gear when going uphill and downhill, it can greatly ensure the stability of driving, improve driving efficiency, and reduce the loss of machinery.
