Do You Need to Keep Pressing the Accelerator in an Automatic Transmission Car?

[DelCameron]

In an automatic transmission car, you don't need to keep pressing the accelerator continuously. The correct way to accelerate is to gently release the accelerator when you want to increase speed. When the vehicle speed decreases, the transmission will recognize the need to shift gears. After the gear shifts up, you can press the accelerator again. It can be understood as gently releasing the accelerator each time the gear shifts up, and pressing it again to accelerate the car. Here is some related information about automatic transmissions: Introduction: As the name suggests, an automatic transmission eliminates the need for the driver to manually shift gears. The vehicle automatically selects the appropriate gear based on the driving speed and traffic conditions. Typically, an automatic transmission car has six gear positions, arranged from top to bottom as: P, R, N, D, S, and L. Principle of Operation: The engine's power is transmitted through the gearbox, which is also a key factor affecting fuel consumption. Generally, automatic transmissions consume over 10% more fuel than manual transmissions. Regardless of whether it's a manual or automatic transmission, more gears usually mean better fuel efficiency.
