How many RPM does the Civic CVT reach when flooring the accelerator pedal momentarily?

The Civic CVT reaches 3000 RPM when flooring the accelerator pedal momentarily. Reasons why drivers are not recommended to use flooring the accelerator pedal: Using flooring the accelerator pedal not only compromises driving safety but also damages the car's engine and transmission, increasing fuel consumption. If wheel spin occurs, the operation should be stopped immediately. At this point, the vehicle speed is generally not high, and to prevent further loss of control, do not blindly apply the brakes. Simply lifting the accelerator pedal completely and refraining from accelerating can generally restore control. Then, decide whether to apply the brakes based on the situation. Long-term use of flooring the accelerator pedal can have the following effects on the car: First, when the car is still in a cold state, the engine oil cannot effectively lubricate all components. Although the oil can reach various parts instantly when the engine starts, these are residual old oil, which is not only minimal in quantity but also at a low temperature and high viscosity, making it unsuitable for immediate driving. If flooring the accelerator pedal is applied at this time, the engine operates under load without sufficient protection, potentially causing irreparable damage to components. Second, shifting gears only when the RPM reaches the redline during driving can harm the transmission. The redline on the tachometer is set by the manufacturer to indicate the transmission's maximum tolerance. Prolonged redline shifting can easily accelerate gear wear. Third, the manufacturing standards of different car manufacturers vary, and some cars are of poor quality and unsuitable for long-term aggressive driving. Long-term aggressive driving tests the vehicle's fuel supply system, lubrication system, cooling system, etc., requiring a comprehensive assessment of whether the vehicle can withstand such driving. At least the above conditions must be considered to make a basic judgment on whether the vehicle will be affected by long-term aggressive driving. To prolong the car's lifespan, minimize the use of flooring the accelerator pedal. Fourth, domestic traffic and road conditions do not allow for unrestricted flooring of the accelerator pedal. When the vehicle speed increases rapidly, the next step often becomes hard braking. Like hard acceleration, excessive braking can also reduce the lifespan of brake pads and the motor.
