When to Use Manual Mode in a Tiptronic Transmission Car?
1 Answers
When to use manual mode in a Tiptronic transmission car: 1. When climbing long steep slopes: The driver can switch to manual mode and engage 1st gear, which limits the vehicle to lower gear operation. This provides stronger climbing power and protects the transmission; 2. When descending long slopes: The driver should also use manual mode to keep the transmission in lower gears, thereby controlling speed without prolonged brake application, preventing brake overheating that could affect braking performance; 3. When accelerating to overtake: For quick overtaking, the driver should switch to manual mode and downshift first. The vehicle can then utilize the high torque of lower gears for instant acceleration, completing the overtaking maneuver more quickly.
