The maximum torque capacity of a manual transmission is 500Nm. The precautions for driving a manual transmission are as follows: 1. Be cautious when crossing ditches or bumps: It is usually difficult to observe the vehicle's shock absorbers, springs, and suspension, but they are also vulnerable components of the vehicle. Slow down in advance when crossing ditches or bumps, rather than forcing the vehicle to rush over. This not only ensures ride comfort but also protects the shock absorbers, springs, and suspension. Avoiding overloading not only improves fuel economy but also takes care of automotive components like the suspension. 2. Do not drive with the handbrake engaged: When controlling speed, use gears more often, anticipate early, shift gears frequently, and use brakes less. Especially when going downhill, use engine braking with occasional assistance from the brakes. Do not drive downhill with the brakes engaged, as this protects the brake pads. Before starting the vehicle, never forget to release the handbrake. Driving with the handbrake engaged is one of the most wear-inducing driving methods for brake pads. 3. Upshift to overtake: There is another common misconception in driving that can cause significant damage to the engine, which is upshifting to overtake. In fact, when in a higher gear, the engine's torque is smaller, and the throttle response is less sensitive, making it difficult to achieve the desired acceleration effect. The correct approach is to downshift actively when accelerating to overtake. For automatic transmission models, when the driver presses the accelerator deeply, the onboard computer will automatically make a judgment to downshift and provide sufficient torque for overtaking. However, the prerequisite is that the driver must press the accelerator deeply enough.
