Tips for driving an automatic transmission car include: 1. Start gently by accelerating slowly, and always start in P (Park) or N (Neutral) gear; 2. Avoid coasting in neutral, and shift back to N gear when waiting at traffic lights or briefly stopping; 3. Engage P gear when parking. Mastering the correct usage of an automatic transmission car is crucial, but improper operation can artificially increase the failure rate of the automatic transmission and reduce its lifespan. During driving, try not to press the accelerator pedal all the way down quickly, as the automatic transmission will perform a "forced downshift" control, immediately shifting to a lower gear, which can easily cause the engine speed to become too high. This may lead to increased wear on the friction plates in the automatic transmission and excessively high transmission fluid temperature.
