Precautions for Driving an Automatic Transmission Car

[VonAva]

When driving an automatic transmission car, be careful not to engage the clutch halfway or shift into reverse before the car comes to a complete stop. Below are detailed explanations: Do not engage the clutch halfway: The clutch's function is to disconnect or connect the power to the engine. If you frequently engage it halfway, fuel consumption will inevitably increase because the engine performs a lot of unnecessary work. Additionally, the clutch will overheat, accelerating wear and reducing its lifespan. Unless in traffic jams, following other cars, or other special circumstances, avoid engaging the clutch halfway—simply keep your foot on the side. Do not shift into reverse before the car comes to a complete stop: Before the car stops completely, the gears are still in motion. Shifting into reverse before stopping can easily cause gear grinding, which can damage the transmission over time.
