What is the Difference Between Tiptronic and Automatic Transmission Cars?
1 Answers
Tiptronic and automatic transmission cars differ in the following aspects: 1. Different functions: Tiptronic has two modes, one is automatic mode and the other is manual mode; automatic transmission only has automatic mode. 2. Different operations: Tiptronic requires gear shifting based on road conditions and driving situations; automatic transmission rarely requires gear shifting. When climbing a long and steep slope, you can switch to manual mode and then shift to 1st gear for climbing, which limits the vehicle to low gear driving, prevents frequent gear jumping, and makes the vehicle more powerful when climbing. When going down a long slope, manual mode should also be used, similarly limiting the transmission to low gear, which can restrain the speed and avoid overheating the brakes, thus affecting braking performance.
