What are the techniques and methods for driving an automatic transmission? Check for mud stains or malicious obstruction. Safely open the car door and get in, fasten the seat belt, adjust the seat, adjust the rearview mirror, and adjust the interior mirror.
When I first drove an automatic transmission car, I also thought it was much easier than a manual. But there are some techniques to pay attention to. When starting, press the foot brake all the way down before shifting gears. Many people forget this step and directly shift to D gear, which can cause jerking. At traffic lights, shifting to N gear and pulling the handbrake is the most stable. Keeping the brake pressed for a long time can cause the transmission to overheat. On uphill sections, don’t always rely on the brake; use L gear or manual mode to lock in a lower gear. The engine's braking force can be a big help. When overtaking, don’t just step on the accelerator—downshifting in advance to increase the RPM gives more burst power. The parking procedure is especially crucial: after the car stops, first shift to N gear and pull the handbrake, release the foot brake to let the car settle, and finally shift to P gear and turn off the engine. This protects the transmission lock pin. Always keep an eye on the dashboard warning lights; if the water temperature or oil pressure is abnormal, address it immediately.
