Introduction to the Gears of MG5 Automatic Transmission

[Luke]

The gear positions of the MG5 automatic transmission, from top to bottom, are P (Park), R (Reverse), N (Neutral), D (Drive), and S (Sport mode). Below is a related introduction to automatic transmission: 1. Automatic Principle: The engine's power is transmitted through the gearbox, which is also a key factor affecting fuel consumption. Generally, an automatic transmission consumes over 10% more fuel than a manual transmission. Whether manual or automatic, the more gears there are, the more fuel-efficient it is. 2. Driving Tips: For manual transmission vehicles, higher RPMs should be used when shifting up. The engine is designed to operate at higher RPMs, with various components' dynamic balance and rotational inertia parameters also designed based on high RPMs. If the engine operates for long periods under non-standard conditions, the load and wear on internal components naturally increase, leading to frequent vibrations and knocking, which can also affect lifespan. Choosing 3000 RPM as the shift-up point ensures that after shifting, the engine operates at just over 2300 RPM, maintaining it within a healthy RPM range.
