Is it harmful to the car to floor the accelerator from a standstill?
1 Answers
Flooring the accelerator is not too harmful to the car, but it will result in very high fuel consumption, and tire spinning may cause some wear. Cars are designed based on extreme acceleration or more aggressive driving conditions. When flooring the accelerator in an automatic transmission, the gearbox will have a small buffering process to protect the transmission gears. Here is some additional information: Precautions when pressing the accelerator: When starting the car and before releasing the handbrake, gently press the accelerator to test if various gauges are functioning properly. Just a quick press is enough, which is especially suitable for novice drivers to develop good car habits and remind themselves of maintenance, etc. The accelerator is generally used when upshifting to increase the vehicle's RPM, reaching the required RPM before shifting gears to prevent stalling or making strange noises.
