1 Answers
Here are the specific steps for using the manual mode of an automatic transmission: 1. When going downhill: Shift into a lower gear and coast with the gear engaged. 2. When braking at high speeds: While pressing the brake pedal, quickly pull the gear lever backward repeatedly in manual mode to force the car to downshift to a lower gear. This creates strong engine braking, accelerating deceleration. 3. When driving through curves: Use manual mode before entering the curve. Downshift to utilize engine braking for deceleration. During the curve, simply maintain vehicle stability. Due to forced downshifting, the engine will automatically maintain high RPM. After exiting the curve, you can quickly accelerate. 4. When coasting: Using manual mode allows the car to gradually downshift and coast smoothly for a long distance without cutting power. In case of emergencies, you can quickly press the accelerator to avoid obstacles.
