How to Start a Car with Tiptronic Transmission?
1 Answers
Correct starting method for a tiptronic transmission car: The vehicle can only be started in P or N gear. The N gear start is used when the vehicle is to move forward immediately after starting. You can first turn on the power, press the brake, shift the gear to N, then ignite the engine, and subsequently shift to D gear to move forward directly. This avoids the transmission experiencing a reverse impact when passing through R gear after ignition in P gear. More details are as follows: 1. Parking: After the car is in the parking position, press the brake, shift the gear lever to N gear, pull up the handbrake, release the foot brake, and then turn off the engine. Finally, press the brake again and push the gear lever into P gear. Of course, this is also a meticulous protection for the transmission. 2. Temporary parking: When temporarily parking (such as waiting for a red light), whether to use N gear or D gear is not wrong, it just depends on personal habits. Temporarily stopping and pressing the brake in D gear does not harm the car because the torque converter in the transmission is equipped with a reaction wheel with a one-way clutch, which amplifies the torque from the engine crankshaft. It does not rotate at engine idle speed and only comes into play when the engine speed increases.
