How to Drive a Dual-Clutch Transmission?

[PiperAnn]

Steps for operating a dual-clutch transmission: When starting, make sure to press the brake, shift into N (Neutral) gear to start the engine. After the engine starts, shift into D (Drive) gear, release the brake, and press the accelerator to smoothly start the vehicle. When parking, first press the brake, wait until the car comes to a complete stop, then shift into N gear, and finally turn off the engine and shift into P (Park) gear to park. When waiting at a red light, press the brake and shift into N gear, but remember to release the handbrake when starting. For overtaking, shift from D gear to S (Sport) gear for quick acceleration. For reversing, shift into R (Reverse) gear; other operations are the same as with an automatic transmission car. A dual-clutch transmission is a type of automatic transmission but differs from conventional transmissions. Like other automatic transmission models, dual-clutch automatic cars have four basic gears: P (Park), R (Reverse), N (Neutral), and D (Drive).
