Should the brake be released quickly or slowly in an automatic transmission?
1 Answers
In an automatic transmission, the foot brake should be released smoothly. Here are the details: 1. When starting: Utilize the creep phenomenon (refers to the tendency or slight creeping sensation of the vehicle moving when the gear selector of an automatic transmission car is placed in D or R gear and the engine is idling, and the brake pedal is released. This is a unique phenomenon of automatic transmission cars) to start the vehicle slowly. 2. Precautions: During the process of releasing the handbrake when starting, the foot brake should still be pressed to prevent the engine speed from increasing and causing a sudden start. When releasing the foot brake, it should be done continuously and slowly, otherwise the car may lurch forward.
