When using the manual shifting mode in a tiptronic transmission car, you need to shift the gear lever to the "M" position, and then perform upshifts or downshifts according to the situation. Below is relevant information about manual transmission: 1. Concept of Manual Transmission: Manual transmission, also known as manual gearbox, is a type of transmission device and the most basic form in automotive transmissions. 2. Function of Manual Transmission: The function of manual transmission is to change the gear ratio, also known as the gear ratio. Based on the principle of leverage, it uses the largest diameter low-speed gear with the longest radius to amplify the engine torque, assisting the vehicle in starting forward movement.

When I bought my first semi-automatic car, I was worried I wouldn't drive it well. After starting, I simply shifted to D gear, and it drove as smoothly as a regular automatic car. Stopping and starting in the city didn't require any gear changes, which was very worry-free. After getting familiar with the basic operations, I started trying the manual mode by pushing the gear lever to M gear or the sideways position, using the lever or steering wheel paddles to manually shift gears, practicing the feel of shifting on empty suburban roads. In manual mode, shifting up before high RPMs protects the engine; for example, shifting up around 2,500 RPM is safer. On mountainous roads with ups and downs, manually controlling the gears makes better use of engine braking, reducing the burden on the brakes. Beginners should start practicing on low-speed roads and only use manual mode on highways once they're confident. Taking it step by step not only helps you learn to control the car but also deepens your understanding of it. Switching appropriately between automatic and manual modes can make driving more enjoyable and worry-free.

How to Deal with Overheated Brakes?

When the car's brake pads overheat, it is necessary to slow down and maintain a steady speed. Additionally, avoid frequent braking and find an opportunity to stop the car for a rest of 30 minutes or 60 minutes to allow recovery. Relevant information about braking is as follows: 1. Introduction: Refers to the action of stopping or reducing the speed of running locomotives, vehicles, other transport tools, or machinery. 2. Principle: The general principle of braking involves fixing a wheel or disc on the high-speed shaft of the machine and installing corresponding brake shoes, bands, or discs on the machine base, which generate braking torque under external force.

How to Check the Condition of a Thermostat?

Methods to check the condition of a thermostat: 1. Check the opening temperature of the thermostat valve. The thermostat is installed at the outlet of the engine water jacket. After removing the thermostat, immerse it in water and gradually heat the water. If the main valve opening temperature does not meet the requirements or fails to close properly at room temperature, replace the thermostat. 2. When the temperature is below 75 degrees, check if the valve is completely closed. If it is not fully closed, replace the thermostat. 3. Check the lift of the thermostat valve. When the water temperature is heated to 93 degrees, the lift of the thermostat valve should be greater than 8.5mm or more. If the valve lift does not meet the specified requirements, replace the thermostat.
