From the beginning of the automatic transmission vehicle just became popular, I gave up the manual transmission vehicle that followed me for many years, and chose a Japanese automatic transmission, at that time the matching transmission was still 4AT, its driving sense was not as smooth as it is now, in general, my driving time of the automatic transmission vehicle should be said to be as long as 13 years, but recently with a good friend (automotive expert) driving together, people define my driving style as "blind open", in the face of such evaluation, I am eager to drill into the cracks in the ground!
Error operation 1: Do not know how to switch driving modes, always driving in D gear
I usually drive, almost always choose D gear driving, and I think there is no problem with this way of driving, after all, D gear driving, stepping on the accelerator to accelerate, the vehicle does not feel meaty, stepping on the brakes to slow down, there will be no feeling of insufficient braking power, this driving method is not a problem, but it makes many configurations of the car become decorations.
For example, the driving mode of the vehicle, the vehicle I drive has three driving modes - economy mode, normal mode, sports mode, economic mode is fuel-efficient, comfortable driving experience, sports mode is the driving sense of sports, normal mode is both sports and fuel consumption driving state. Car owners can choose the most suitable driving mode according to their driving needs, when we want to overtake and accelerate, we can choose the sports mode, when we want to climb the hill, we can also choose the sports mode.
Error operation two: Manual mode is not utilized
If you don't know much about cars, you will definitely have some questions, how can automatic transmission vehicles still have manual mode? Now the automatic transmission vehicle is generally designed as a "manual integrated type", the vehicle has both automatic D gear driving mode, there is also M gear manual mode, in the most suitable working conditions, the owner should learn to use the M gear manual mode.
If the owner wants to slow down, in addition to stepping on the brakes, you can also use the manual mode to downshift, by increasing the speed of the engine, increasing the engine's ability to drag the vehicle, the speed of the vehicle will be slowly reduced, this driving mode is often used to drive down the long slope, down the ground to get off the parking lot of steep slopes. If the owner wants to accelerate, he can also use manual mode to downshift, increase the speed of the engine to increase the responsiveness of the vehicle and improve the sense of driving power of the vehicle.
Wrong operation three: the throttle is often stepped on and loosened, and the driving sense of the vehicle is very uncoordinated
I drive very willfully, the accelerator pedal is never stable, often step on a loose, the owner of this driving habit is not only myself, and this driving habit is ridiculed by experts. The throttle is loose, the engine intake is suddenly large and small, the fuel injection volume of the engine will be suddenly large and small, and its output torque will show serious non-linearity, the driving stability of the vehicle is very poor, and the passengers will also have slight signs of motion sickness.
Under normal circumstances, when the owner is driving in the city road conditions, step on the accelerator pedal, the vehicle accelerates, when the engine speed reaches between 2000 and 2500rpm, we will feel that the engine has a sense of booming, the transmission gear can not be upgraded in time, in order to suppress this phenomenon, the owner can lightly close the throttle, the transmission will quickly increase gears, but after the speed of the vehicle is increased, the owner needs to stabilize the accelerator pedal, let the vehicle keep driving at a constant speed as much as possible, do not often "step on, loosen" the accelerator pedal.
Error operation four: wait for the red light, hang the P gear
When waiting for the red light, in order to put myself in a comfortable state, I often "hang up the P gear, pull the handbrake" parking, this practice is problematic, P gear is locked stop, after hanging into the P gear, the drive wheel of the vehicle will be in a locked state, but if the rear car has a rear-end phenomenon, the transmission of our vehicle is prone to "mechanical damage" This serious failure.
The correct approach should be that the owner "pulls the handbrake to hang N gear", if your vehicle has isISG + Autohold function, you can directly loosen the brakes to stop and wait, without any unnecessary action.
Wrong operation five: There is a problem with the parking method
Many drivers have such a parking habit when driving, "D gear brake stop, and then directly switch to P gear", this practice is problematic, if the owner's vehicle is unstable, the vehicle has a certain speed to drive, in this case, hanging P gear, it is easy to have a toothing failure, the ratchet or pawl of the transmission P gear will be broken.
The correct parking step should be that the owner steps on the brakes to stop, then pulls the handbrake, and finally hangs the P gear to turn off.
Although the driving method of the automatic transmission vehicle is simple, the owner only needs to "step on the accelerator to accelerate, step on the brake to slow down", but to truly grasp the potential driving skills of the manual transmission vehicle, we also need to learn carefully and carefully.
