What are the tips for starting an automatic transmission car on a steep slope?
1 Answers
Check if the car has AUTOHOLD or hill start assist function. If it does, simply release the brake and press the accelerator. Below is some related information about automatic transmissions: 1. Automatic Principle: The engine's power is transmitted through the gearbox, which is also a key factor affecting fuel consumption. Generally, automatic transmissions consume 10% more fuel than manual transmissions. Whether manual or automatic, more gears mean better fuel efficiency. 2. Driving Tips: For manual transmission cars, it's advisable to shift at higher RPMs. Engines are designed to operate at higher RPMs, with parameters like dynamic balance and rotational inertia optimized for high-speed conditions. Prolonged operation at abnormal RPMs increases internal component load and wear, leading to frequent vibrations and knocking, which can shorten the engine's lifespan. Choosing 3000 RPM as the shift point ensures that after shifting, the engine runs at around 2300 RPM, keeping it within a healthy operating range.
