What RPM is considered aggressive driving for a CVT?
1 Answers
If the CVT's starting RPM exceeds 4000, it can be determined that the car is being driven aggressively. Aggressive driving refers to operating the vehicle in a non-standard manner, such as high speed in low gear, prolonged driving at low speed in high gear, sudden braking and acceleration, not slowing down when turning, and drifting in place. Aggressive driving can lead to issues like burning engine oil, and in severe cases, cylinder scoring, engine seizure, rapid increase in brake pad temperature, and reduced braking performance. If the throttle and brake are pressed simultaneously, it not only affects the engine and transmission but also significantly damages the tires. Regular aggressive driving also accelerates tire wear, increasing the risk of tire blowouts at high speeds, which is extremely dangerous. For CVT transmissions, it is necessary to regularly replace the transmission fluid, typically around every 40,000 kilometers or every three years of vehicle use. Additionally, attention should be paid to the shifting method. When shifting gears, the vehicle must be stopped, and the brake pedal must be pressed before shifting to avoid potential damage to the transmission.
