How to Drive a Volkswagen Automatic Transmission?
2 Answers
When starting the vehicle, the default gear position is N (Neutral). To use the automatic transmission mode, press the brake pedal and select the D (Drive) gear on the transmission. When starting the vehicle and clicking SERVICE, it will enter manual mode. The driver can adjust gears up or down according to different road conditions. For low-speed driving, the Low gear can be selected. When reversing, ensure the vehicle comes to a complete stop before selecting the R (Reverse) gear.
The first time I drove a Volkswagen automatic transmission car, I found it quite simple, as I didn't need to worry about shifting gears. You just sit in the driver's seat, fasten your seatbelt, and then press the brake pedal firmly to start the engine. After starting, keep your foot on the brake, move the gear lever from the P position to the D position, which is the drive gear. Slowly release the brake and gently press the accelerator, and the car will move forward smoothly. For reversing, remember to come to a complete stop first and then shift to the R gear. Driving is stress-free, as the automatic transmission takes care of the shifting for you. Additionally, when parking, never forget to shift to the P gear; otherwise, the car might roll downhill. I started learning to drive with this car, and it was much easier to get the hang of—saving time and effort compared to a manual transmission, especially in areas with many traffic lights.
