Why is the Dual-Clutch Transmission Slow to Start?

Dual-clutch transmission's slow start is related to its protection program. During driving, if the car frequently stops and starts, the protection program of the dual-clutch transmission will disengage the clutch. Even when the brake is released, the car won't move forward and will only respond after pressing the accelerator. Methods for maintaining the transmission include: 1. Change the automatic transmission fluid every 12 months or 20,000 kilometers; 2. Avoid coasting in neutral; 3. Regularly check the fluid level; 4. Do not skip gears when upshifting; 5. Do not forcibly shift to neutral; 6. Do not shorten the idle warm-up time; 7. Avoid gear grinding when shifting; 8. Clean the transmission; 9. Do not start driving immediately without warming up the car; 10. Perform regular maintenance on the automatic transmission.

What Does It Mean When the Driver Warning Light Is On?

If the handbrake is fully released but the brake system warning light remains on, it usually indicates insufficient brake fluid in the brake fluid reservoir. Insufficient brake fluid or a low fluid level may increase braking distance and require a longer pedal travel to achieve greater braking effect. Here are the solutions: 1. Carefully park the vehicle on the roadside, check the brake fluid, and add the manufacturer-recommended brake fluid to the MAX mark. 2. Check whether the brake operation is normal and determine if driving is safe. If the brake operation is normal and driving is safe, drive carefully and go to the nearest after-sales service center for inspection and repair. 3. If there is leakage, or the warning light remains on without turning off, or the brakes do not function properly, tow the vehicle to the nearest authorized after-sales service center for inspection and repair.
