How to Use the Buick Excelle Automatic Transmission?
1 Answers
Correct usage methods for the Buick Excelle automatic transmission: 1. Proper driving on regular roads Before starting the engine, ensure the automatic transmission lever is in the P (normal forward gear) or N (neutral) position. The engine cannot be started if the lever is in any other position. 2. While driving, the overdrive switch can be turned on. If there is a mode switch, set it to the economy or standard mode position to save some fuel. 3. When accelerating, gradually increase the throttle. This is especially important for smaller displacement automatic vehicles—avoid sudden acceleration. Unless necessary, refrain from rapid throttle inputs and try to keep the engine speed within the economical range. After the car starts, slowly press the accelerator. 4. If the car stalls suddenly while driving and the lever is still in a driving gear, the engine cannot be restarted by turning the ignition switch. It's best to first bring the car to a complete stop, then shift the lever to the P or N position before restarting the engine.
