How to drive efficiently an automatic transmission car?

[Retz]

karamihan sa mga kilala kong drivers, nasa 'D' lang palagi. Ung mga galing sa manual tranny lang ung mahilig mag lagay as 'N' during a stop.

isa na ako dyan

pero based sa mga replies to this thread, most prefer shifting to N sa stop light kung it will take some waiting time. aside from fuel saving benefits, the tranny is not stressed daw

P is for parking. lagay mo dyan pag nakapark ka. parang naka-hand brake ka rin nyan

R is reverse

N is neutral

D is drive

Easy to drive the Crosswind AT. Only thing to remember... wala kang power. So don't expect to ever be able to overtake. Not unless you plan minutes ahead of time.

Ako pag stoplight and traffic i always put in N

IMO lahat ng A/T cars, malakas sa gas,

My 2.0 AT (4wd) car consumes an average of 10kpl for 1.5yrs of using, lowest record is 7kpl, tops at 15kpl!

I bet you can't bet using your 2.0 (4wd) gas manual engine car?

ung iba naman may tiptronic +/-

[Noel Salisipan]

Yung mga units that are tiptronic or its equivalent, determine at what speed the car goes into 4 speed for 4A/T, and 5 speed for 5A/T. Target that as your cruising speed. For example, yung local kia sportage ko, shifts to 4th gear at 60kph, while my montero shifts t 4th gear at 52kph or so.

Share ko na lang din, my ASX upshifts sequence are;
2nd - right before 10kph
3rd - " " 20kph
4th - " " 30kph
5th - " " 40kph
6th - " " 50kph

Once na bumaba ang speed sa "upshift point" auto down shift na sya.

CVT ang ASX no? no wonder it has good FC!
for our Focus TDCi PS sequence using Manual mode, transmission requires the following para makapag upshift:
1st/2nd gear * 0kph /
3rd gear after 1800rpm
4th gear * 40kph
5th gear after 50kph
6th gear after 60kph

100kph * approximately 1850 rpm. what's yours?

Asx bro, around 1800 din *100kph.

If you need to overtake, press on the accelerator ng madiin. Automatically mag down shift sya para maka arangkada nga maayos. Using tiptronic pwede rin, and it also automatically down shift pag mabagal na ang takbo mo up to a full stop. But 1 thing noticed ko sa mga tiptronic trannies, pag nasa auto mode ang bagal ng response. You really have to floor it.

No need to floor it, just use the paddle shift(for those who have it) to down shift.

boss saan ba ginagamit ang L, 2, D-3 sa automatic vios...kapag paahon ba ng matatarik kelangan ba ishift sa 2 or ok nman sa D..at kpag downhill ok lng ba na nasa D ang gear o o much better na nasa 2..

Yup, pag steep ang incline at downhill tska mo shift sa lower gear

When in doubt or you wouldnt like to change gear anyway, better put it in D for it automatically shifts to d appropriate gear.

3, 2 and L are mainly for engine breaking. 3 for slight engine break, 2 for stronger breaking and L for maximum engine break.

Nevertheless, if u prefer to use L instead of D which automatically shifts the appropriate gear for you, you can do as you wish.

Kung saan ka masaya, supurtahan da ka.

2 and l(wala akong 3 sa mga auto namin) are used mainly for uphill to get the required torque, engine breaking is somewhat a secondary nature of it( nakalagay sa car manual ng mga auto namin) ang bawal is pag old school 4x4 ka, running in that speed then shifting to 4x4 definitely sira ang tranny mo(but nowadays meron ng flywire 4x4 where you can shift to 4x4 even at 100kph)

pag naka d ka lang tapos hirap na engine mo kawawa torque converter mo sayang yung energy

to the ts i strongly urged you to read your car manual

after buying a car, read your car manual

diyan mo kasi makikita yung mga differences like para saan yung N sa automatic(yung ibang engot ginagamit na pang freewheel na akala parang manual to save some gas) and kung para saan yung P or how to start an automatic and the uses of L - 2 or when to turn off\on the overdrive (some automatic no longer have the overdrive functions)

safe ba ito gawin kahit mabilis na takbo mo (80-100KPH)?

[Retz]

Ay sir, hindi pwede. Pang manual tranny lang yan sinabi mo.

[mossy]

salamat sa reply sir retz
