What is the correct starting method for a 7-speed dual-clutch transmission?
1 Answers
The correct starting method for a 7-speed dual-clutch transmission is: When starting, make sure to press the brake pedal, then shift into N (Neutral) gear to start the engine. After the engine starts, shift into D (Drive) gear, release the brake pedal, and press the accelerator to begin moving the vehicle. Below are some driving tips for cars: 1. Based on engine structure and driving experience, it is generally recommended to keep the engine speed around 2000 RPM when driving in urban areas. This ensures good power performance while maintaining fuel efficiency. While driving, pay attention to the engine sound and feel at different RPMs and speeds, and shift gears at the appropriate time. Since 1st gear is the starting gear and has a gear ratio similar to reverse gear, it is not suitable for prolonged high-speed operation. Typically, you can shift to 2nd gear once the vehicle starts moving and gains momentum. 2. When shifting gears, do it swiftly and decisively. Press the clutch pedal quickly and release it slowly to avoid a drop in engine RPM after shifting. If this happens, downshift again, or even skip a gear if necessary. When downshifting, press the clutch first before releasing the accelerator, otherwise the engine will slow down the vehicle. 3. When upshifting, lightly press the accelerator before releasing the clutch.
