Here are specific explanations about driving techniques for 6AT automatic transmission: 1. Using N Gear for Starting: When the car is started and you don't need to reverse but want to drive forward directly, you can first turn on the power, press the brake, shift the gear to N, then ignite the engine, and subsequently shift to D gear to proceed directly. This avoids the transmission going through a reverse impact when starting in P gear, which requires passing through R gear. Another benefit is that in case of sudden engine stall while driving, you can quickly shift to N gear to restart the engine safely. 2. Avoid Coasting in N Gear While Driving: Since the automatic transmission requires lubrication, when the gear is set to N while driving, the oil pump cannot supply oil normally for lubrication, causing the temperature of internal transmission components to rise and leading to severe damage. Additionally, coasting in neutral at high speeds is very dangerous and does not save fuel. When coasting to a stop at low speeds, you can shift to N gear in advance.

How to Use the Vehicle Regeneration Switch?

When the vehicle is driving normally, the two switches on the center console—the self-resetting switch and the regeneration prohibition switch—should remain in their original positions and not be pressed. When the high-temperature emission light comes on, it indicates that the engine's active regeneration has started to take effect, and only then should the self-resetting switch button be pressed. If road conditions are poor and the vehicle's own driving regeneration function cannot fully consume the particulate matter in the DPF, parked regeneration will be required.

What to do if water gets into the headlights of a Sagitar and causes fogging?

The presence of fog inside the headlights is mostly due to a significant temperature difference between the interior of the headlight and the environment. This phenomenon may also occur after the vehicle has driven through water, been washed, or had the engine compartment cleaned, if the accumulated water is not thoroughly dried or drained. However, it generally doesn't require attention and can be ignored, as the fog will usually dissipate on its own after some time of use.
