Automatic cars also have a handbrake. The position of the handbrake is the same as in manual transmission cars. If you cannot find the handbrake in the car, it is likely equipped with an electronic parking brake. Here is the relevant information: 1. The parking brake, commonly referred to as the handbrake, provides resistance to the car when parked to prevent it from rolling. The parking brake, whether it's the handbrake or the parking gear in an automatic transmission, locks the drive shaft or rear wheels. The force of the parking brake is much weaker compared to the service brake, just enough to prevent the car from rolling on a slope. 2. The electronic parking brake system integrates the temporary braking function during driving with the long-term braking function after parking, and it uses electronic control to achieve parking braking.

What Causes the Jerking in 1st and 2nd Gears of the New Jetta?

Reasons for jerking in 1st and 2nd gears of the New Jetta: Dirty transmission internals: Transmission jerking or impact often isn't due to internal valve body damage but rather stubborn dirt and impurities inside. Especially when these contaminants accumulate in the valve body, they can cause blockages, preventing effective oil pressure regulation and leading to jerking, impact, or slippage. The traditional solution is to replace the transmission fluid. Engine intake system malfunction: The engine's intake system requires not only fuel but also air. If components like the air filter or throttle valve are clogged or malfunctioning, insufficient air intake can result in poor acceleration, sluggish speed increase, and jerking sensations. The ignition system is also crucial—faulty spark plugs, leakage, or poor atomization can negatively affect engine acceleration.

What is the correct operation method for downshifting in an automatic transmission?

The correct operation method for downshifting in an automatic transmission is: 1. Observe the car's rearview mirror to ensure safety behind the vehicle; 2. Press the car's brake pedal to slow down; 3. Hold the steering wheel to prevent deviation; 4. Check the car's dashboard to determine the speed; 5. Press the accelerator pedal to continue driving. An automatic transmission does not require the driver to manually shift gears; the vehicle will automatically select the appropriate gear based on driving speed and traffic conditions. Generally, automatic transmission cars have six gear positions, from top to bottom: P, R, N, D, S, L. Driving an automatic transmission car using the parking gear P, reverse gear R, neutral gear N, and drive gear D can fully meet the needs of general driving. If encountering some special driving environments, other functional gears need to be used.
