What are the techniques for pressing the accelerator in Chery GX automatic transmission?

[VanHarmony]

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.

As a Chery GX owner, I'd like to share some practical throttle control tips. Don't drive an automatic transmission like a manual - start by gently pressing the accelerator to allow smooth engine acceleration, with optimal takeoff around 2000 RPM. For city driving, maintain moderate throttle pressure at about half-depth and avoid sudden presses or releases that cause jerky movement. On highways, maintain consistent throttle pressure for fuel efficiency; when accelerating, deeper presses enable faster downshifts but be cautious about slippery roads to prevent wheelspin. I often tell friends that throttle control is like rowing a boat with your foot - applying even pressure for directional control. This approach ensures stable driving, better fuel economy, and reduced brake wear.

As a beginner driving a Chery GX automatic, I often made mistakes with the accelerator pedal, but later learned some techniques. Start by gently tapping the pedal instead of pressing it deeply, then gradually accelerate after moving off. In the city, apply lighter pressure on the accelerator—pressing too hard can cause gearbox jerks, leading to a poor experience. Practice pedal control more, like pre-tapping the accelerator before traffic lights to prepare the car. Avoid sudden acceleration or deceleration, as it wastes fuel and harms the vehicle. On slopes, maintain steady throttle to prevent rolling back. In short, stepping on the accelerator rhythmically, like dance steps, makes the car respond smoothly.
