What are the techniques for pressing the accelerator in Chery GX automatic transmission?
2 Answers
Chery GX automatic transmission accelerator pressing techniques are as follows: Lightly press the accelerator pedal: The operation of the accelerator pedal should use the right heel placed on the floor of the driver's compartment as a pivot point, with the sole gently pressing on the accelerator pedal, using the flexion and extension of the ankle joint to press down or release. When pressing or releasing the accelerator pedal, the force should be gentle, achieving a light press and slow release. Overtaking situation: If you want to overtake a slower car ahead, you can first release the accelerator, then press it down firmly. At this point, the transmission will automatically downshift to meet the power requirements. After completing the overtaking, release the accelerator, and the gear will return to the appropriate gear for the current speed, which can be controlled solely with the accelerator; if rapid acceleration is needed, then the use of a restricted gear should be combined, directly shifting to a lower gear to cooperate with the accelerator for acceleration.
I've been driving a Chery GX automatic for several years, and the key to pressing the accelerator is to be gentle and smooth. When starting in the city, lightly tap the accelerator to let the car move slowly—don't press too hard suddenly, otherwise the transmission will jerk noticeably, making passengers prone to motion sickness. In traffic jams, press and release the accelerator gradually to maintain a speed of around 20 km/h, avoiding sudden acceleration that wastes fuel. On the highway, you can press slightly deeper to downshift and accelerate when overtaking, but don't hold it too long—release the accelerator immediately after overtaking and maintain a steady speed. I usually practice my foot sensitivity to feel the throttle response; when the car reacts smoothly, it saves fuel and hassle—my fuel consumption is only around 7L/100km. Remember, pressing the accelerator is like playing piano keys—light and even, maintaining uniform foot pressure. Once you get used to it, driving becomes more effortless and protects the transmission.
