Why does an automatic transmission car emit a burning smell when continuously climbing hills?
1 Answers
A burning smell is generally caused by high-temperature friction of the clutch plate. When climbing hills with an automatic transmission, you can shift to manual mode for more power. Meaning of the hill-climbing gear: It refers to a specific gear in the car designed for climbing hills. Principle of the hill-climbing gear: It achieves this through mechanical deceleration. A reduction gear is installed at the front end of the rear axle differential, which can be manually engaged. When switched to the low-speed gear, the vehicle's speed is halved while the torque is doubled. Function of the hill-climbing gear: The M gear is the manual mode of an automatic transmission car. The driver can manually upshift or downshift using "M+" and "M-", which is a more precise operation for hill climbing or overtaking based on actual driving conditions.
