How to Start an Automatic Transmission Vehicle?

1 Answers

The correct starting procedure for an automatic transmission vehicle is as follows: First, insert the key and turn on the power without starting the engine. Then, press the brake pedal, shift to N (Neutral) gear, ignite the engine, and shift from N to D (Drive) gear. Release the parking brake, lift the foot brake, and start moving. This method avoids the brief reverse impact on the transmission when shifting from P (Park) through R (Reverse) after ignition. For twin-cylinder vehicles, the engine starts each cylinder sequentially upon ignition. Initially, the engine noise may be louder. Wait for several tens of seconds (or 1-2 minutes in winter) until the engine noise subsides, indicating that the engine has fully started. Only then should you shift to a higher gear.

Does a CVT need transmission fluid replacement?

ecvt requires transmission fluid replacement. Additional information about transmission fluid is as follows: 1. Any type of fluid has a shelf life and needs to be replaced after a certain mileage or period of use. 2. Due to special road conditions and external environmental factors, the transmission fluid in a car will deteriorate over time, necessitating regular replacement. 3. Transmission fluid serves to transmit hydraulic power and provide cleaning and lubrication. If a car is used for an extended period without changing the transmission fluid, the fluid particles may enlarge or generate debris, potentially clogging the fluid passages. This can easily lead to transmission malfunctions, making regular transmission fluid replacement essential.

What is the unit of horsepower?

The unit of horsepower is PS, commonly known as 'horse'. Horsepower is a commonly used unit for measuring power in engineering, representing the physical quantity that determines a car's top speed. A higher horsepower means a higher top speed for the vehicle. Torque, on the other hand, measures the car's acceleration capability. Greater torque results in better acceleration performance, meaning the car has more 'power'. Relevant information about car horsepower is as follows: 1. Metric horsepower: Also known as 'meter horsepower', its definition is entirely artificial, set to a value very close to imperial horsepower. It is defined as the work done to lift a 75-kilogram force by one meter in one second. That is: 1 metric horsepower = 75 kilogram-force·meter/second = 735 watts. 2. Imperial horsepower: The concept of horsepower as a unit was named by James Watt, the improver of the steam engine, to represent the power of his steam engine relative to the pulling power of a horse. It is defined as 'the power of a horse capable of pulling 33,000 pounds at a speed of one foot per minute', with the watt (W) or kilowatt (kW) used as the standard unit.

What is the reason for not being able to engage the reverse gear in a manual transmission?

Manual transmission reverse gear cannot be engaged because: the clutch pedal is not fully depressed, and the gear teeth happen to align. Here is some relevant information: 1. Inside the structure of a manual transmission, there is a very important device called the "synchronizer." Without a synchronizer, forcibly inserting a slowly rotating gear into a high-speed rotating gear will definitely cause gear grinding. 2. The function of the synchronizer is to increase the speed of the gear to be shifted to match the speed of the output gear when shifting occurs, so that there will be no gear grinding when shifting. This makes it easy to engage the gear.
