How to Use the Automatic Transmission of Nissan Sylphy?
2 Answers
Nissan Sylphy gear usage instructions are as follows: 1. P (Park) Gear: This gear is usually located at the top of the gear lever. It should be engaged when parking for an extended period. If the vehicle is turned off without engaging the park gear, the park gear should be engaged before starting the vehicle next time. 2. R (Reverse) Gear: Engage the reverse gear when the vehicle needs to reverse. Note that the vehicle must come to a complete stop before shifting into reverse. 3. N (Neutral) Gear: The torque converter is idling, and power cannot be transmitted to the planetary gears. The neutral gear is used for short-term parking. 4. D (Drive) Gear: The automatic transmission operates automatically during driving. The driver only needs to control acceleration and deceleration. 5. S (Sport) Gear: In sport mode, the engine speed is kept higher to achieve better power performance, and the transmission shift logic becomes more aggressive. 6. L (Low) Gear: Primarily used for long downhill or steep uphill driving. When going downhill, engaging a low gear allows the engine to provide braking. When climbing steep hills, it keeps the engine in its maximum torque state. 7. M (Manual) Gear: Manual mode requires the driver to shift gears manually. Typically, pushing up increases a gear, and pushing down decreases a gear. Manual mode enhances driving pleasure. 8. B (Brake) Gear: Generally used during long-distance coasting or downhill driving to provide braking effects and enhance energy recovery. It helps charge the vehicle's power battery, thereby increasing battery range.
I was also nervous when I first drove the automatic transmission Sylphy, but it's actually super easy. After getting in the car, first fasten your seatbelt and press the brake pedal to start the vehicle. Check the dashboard to see the P (Park) gear indicator. When you want to drive, keep your right foot on the brake pedal and shift the gear lever from P to D (Drive), then release the handbrake or electronic parking brake. When you release the brake, the car will slowly coast forward, and a light press on the accelerator will get you moving. In traffic jams, just keep it in D gear without shifting. For reversing, come to a complete stop before shifting to R (Reverse). When parking, after stopping with the brake, engage the handbrake first and then shift back to P gear. The best part of driving an automatic is not worrying about the clutch, and the Sylphy's light steering makes it easy even for women to handle with one hand. Remember to visit the 4S shop for the first maintenance and ask the technician to teach you about the auto start-stop function, which is very useful at traffic lights.
