How to Drive a Buick Excelle Automatic Transmission?
2 Answers
The method to drive a Buick Excelle with automatic transmission is: ensure the gear is in P (Park), press the brake pedal, shift the gear to D (Drive), release the brake pedal, and the car will start moving slowly. If you want to accelerate quickly, simply press the accelerator pedal. Automatic transmission means the driver does not need to manually shift gears; the vehicle will automatically select the appropriate gear based on the driving speed and traffic conditions. The Buick Excelle is equipped with a 1.3T turbocharged engine and a 6-speed automatic manual transmission, delivering a maximum power of 120 kW and a maximum torque of 230 Nm. It features front-wheel drive, with a front suspension using MacPherson independent suspension and a rear suspension using multi-link independent suspension.
It's my first time driving a Buick Excelle automatic transmission. Remember to sit firmly and press the brake pedal first, then start the engine or turn the key. The Buick Excelle has a regular D gear and an S gear for sport mode. I shifted directly from P gear to D gear to drive. When driving, gently press the accelerator to speed up—don't rush, and also press the brakes lightly to ensure a smooth and fuel-efficient ride. Be careful when parking; after coming to a complete stop, engage the handbrake and shift back to P gear before turning off the engine. Pay extra attention to ensure the brakes are fully engaged when parking on a slope. For daily city commuting, use D gear most of the time, but if you want quicker response, switch to S gear. As a beginner with automatic transmission, avoid shifting to N gear unnecessarily to prevent the car from rolling. I think getting familiar with these basic operations makes driving super easy and worry-free.
