How to Perform a High-Speed Run with an Automatic Transmission?
1 Answers
Methods for performing a high-speed run with an automatic transmission: You need to place the gear in D mode, fully depress the accelerator for acceleration, and the tachometer will temporarily reach the red zone. After that, shift gears and repeat the process. However, the high-speed run should not last too long. Maintaining the RPM in the red zone for an extended period can increase wear and even cause overheating issues, potentially damaging the transmission. A high-speed run essentially allows a new car to test its maximum performance capabilities, but the RPM should not exceed two-thirds of the design limit. Performing a high-speed run can help clear oil passages, burn off carbon deposits, and improve future performance. The purpose of driving at a certain high speed is to break in components such as wheel axles and the main reducer, but the speed should be controlled between 100 km/h and 120 km/h. Avoid pushing the speed too high.
