Does Starting with Full Throttle Damage an Automatic Transmission Car?
1 Answers
Starting with full throttle in an automatic transmission car can cause damage. Excessive throttle during startup can easily lead to tire slippage and spinning, resulting in tire wear. Additionally, it increases the engine load, not only raising fuel consumption but also shortening the engine's lifespan. Below are precautions for starting an automatic transmission car: Avoid Immediate Acceleration: It is best to let the engine idle for more than 30 seconds, allowing the automatic transmission fluid to fully fill all oil chambers. This ensures the automatic transmission remains in optimal working condition before engaging the gear and starting to drive. Control the Accelerator Pedal Gently When Starting: If the accelerator pedal is pressed too forcefully during startup, causing the throttle to open excessively, the extra power beyond what is needed for starting the car will result in rapid acceleration. This can quickly increase the vehicle's speed and easily lead to rear-end collisions during startup.
