The correct method for starting an automatic transmission car on a slope: 1. When parking, press the brake and engage the handbrake. When starting the vehicle, release the brake, press the accelerator, and then release the handbrake. This method effectively prevents the car from rolling back due to brake interruption. 2. Use both feet to control the brake and accelerator separately. When starting on a slope, first press the accelerator. When the car shows a tendency to move forward or the engine speed reaches a certain level, release the brake. Precautions for starting a manual transmission car on a slope: 1. The coordination between the accelerator, handbrake, and clutch is crucial. Do not rush when coordinating these controls. When the clutch is in a semi-engaged state and the gear is not fully engaged, pressing the accelerator hard can cause significant damage to the clutch due to continuous friction of the clutch plates. 2. When releasing the handbrake, do not immediately remove your hand from it. Keep your hand on the handbrake to avoid the car rolling back due to insufficient power, allowing you to quickly engage the handbrake if needed.

Does Transmission Fluid Need to Be Replaced?

Transmission fluid does need to be replaced. If it is not replaced after prolonged use, its viscosity will decrease, and its sealing performance will also be compromised. This can affect the lubrication effectiveness of the transmission fluid, thereby impacting the operation of the hydraulic system, leading to unstable pressure in the car's transmission, difficulty in shifting gears for manual transmissions, and a negative impact on the car's handling feel. Methods for maintaining the transmission include: 1. Regularly changing the transmission fluid; 2. Frequently checking the fluid level; 3. Avoiding coasting in neutral; 4. Skipping gears when upshifting; 5. Not forcing the transmission into neutral; 6. Minimizing the duration of idling to warm up the car; 7. Avoiding gear grinding when shifting; 8. Cleaning the transmission.

How to Drive an Automatic Transmission New Car?

Here are the steps to start an automatic transmission new car: 1. After sitting in the driver's seat, press the start button directly; 2. Depress the brake pedal and press the start button to ignite and start the engine; 3. Release the foot brake and let the car warm up in place; 4. Depress the brake pedal again and shift to D (Drive) gear; 5. Release the handbrake and slowly release the foot brake to start moving. An automatic transmission car does not require the driver to manually shift gears; the vehicle will automatically select the appropriate gear based on the driving speed and traffic conditions. The gears of an automatic transmission are: 1. P (Park) for parking; 2. R (Reverse) for reversing; 3. N (Neutral) for neutral; 4. D (Drive) for forward driving; 5. S (Sport) for sport mode; 6. L (Low) for low gear.
