How to Use the Automatic Transmission D+?
1 Answers
Use the automatic transmission "D+" in the following situations: (1) When going downhill, you can shift up to D2 or D3 using "D+". Downhill driving requires the engine's braking effect, and gears 2 or 3 can meet the power demand without needing the high torque of gear 1. (2) Sometimes on uphill sections with sufficient power, "D+" can be used to upshift to prevent power wastage and damage to the engine and transmission. (3) When the ETC does not accurately interpret the driver's operational intent, manual upshifts can also be performed using "D+". Below is an introduction to the automatic transmission "D+": The "D+" and "D-" in automatic transmissions refer to the manual mode. Generally, when the gear is in D, shifting the gear lever left or right switches to manual mode. In manual mode, the driver can use "D+" and "D-" to shift gears up or down. Pushing toward "D+" increases the gear by one, and pushing toward "D-" decreases the gear by one.
