How to Drive the Tharu Automatic Transmission Car?
3 Answers
Driving the Tharu automatic transmission car involves the following steps: 1. Sit in the driver's seat and press the start button, the ACC light will illuminate; 2. Press the start button again for the vehicle to perform a self-check; 3. Depress the brake pedal and press the start button to ignite and start the engine; 4. Depress the foot brake, shift to D gear, and release the handbrake. The Tharu has the following dimensions: length 4453mm, width 1841mm, height 1632mm, with a wheelbase of 2680mm. It features a fuel tank capacity of 51 liters and a trunk capacity ranging from 455 to 1543 liters. The car is equipped with a 1.4T turbocharged engine, delivering a maximum power of 110kW at 5000 rpm.
Just tried my friend's Tharu a couple of days ago, and the automatic transmission is really easy to handle. Get in, press the brake and hit the one-button start, the needle lights up and the engine starts. Don't rush off in P gear, let the engine catch its breath first. Press the brake firmly and shift from P to D gear, the electronic parking brake will release automatically. Then gently release the brake and lightly press the accelerator, and the car starts smoothly. If you need to stop on the road, press the brake hard and the HOLD function will automatically engage, much easier than pulling the handbrake. For reversing, remember to come to a complete stop before shifting to R gear, and the central control screen will immediately switch to the reversing camera. Don't rush to turn off the engine after driving, shift to N gear, engage the electronic parking brake, then shift to P gear. If the steering wheel feels heavy, it means the lock button has taken effect. By the way, the auto start-stop switch is on the left side of the gear lever. It's recommended to turn it off in city traffic jams, otherwise, the constant engine start-stop can be quite annoying.
My Tharu has been running for two and a half years, and the most user-friendly feature is its automatic transmission logic. Just keep the key in your pocket, press the brake to start directly, and shift gears after the dashboard self-check completes. Special mention for hill starts: press the brake for two extra seconds in D gear until the AUTOHOLD light comes on – the car won't roll back when releasing the brake on slopes. For long red lights, don't keep pressing the brake; shift to N gear and engage the handbrake to save the transmission. In rain or snow, switch to S mode to increase engine RPM and reduce tire slippage. Common rookie mistakes: forgetting to turn off automatic wipers before automatic car washes; not checking if mirrors are folded before locking; realizing windows are open after turning off the engine – just long-press the remote window close button for 3 seconds.
