How to drive efficiently an automatic transmission car?

[RJAbr]

AFAIK, May 2 tsaka L pa yun sa baba ng D

yung 2, para hanggang 2nd gear ka lang

yung L hanggang 1st gear lang

magagamit to pag uphill, downhill, baha, etc.

boss iba pa to sa kambyo sa 2H, 4H at 4L dba? ^^
Ang alam ko sa kambyo dun ay 2H, normal driving. 4H, apat na gulong ang gumagana kaya effective sya sa madudulas na kalsada. and 4L, pang offroad at pang baha. Nung nag 4L ako naramdaman ko agad ang lakas ng hatak, pero sobrang aksaya sa krudo. at nung 4L ako 2nd gear agad sya nagsisimula at hindi sa 1st, at pag nagshift sya to 3rd gear, humahatak talaga kahit magaan lang pedal mo pero yung akin hanggang 40km/h lang talaga, pag inapak mo magreredline sya pero 40kph lang tlga.. Aksaya nga lang kapag nasa normal na kalsada ka. Tinesting ko lang eh xD

i am also shifting to N when on a traffic or during red lights. my boss also noted and asked me..."why do u have to put it in neutral on stops?...the computer box won't like it" but for me putting it in N means...less drag on the car on short stops so i wont have to really squeeze the brake pedal. and less drag means less pudpod on the clutch . just my ten cents!

kung matagal ka at stop, practical lang na ilagay sa N position.

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.

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.

wow...hina pala ng AT crosswind yan pa naman gamit namin papuntang tugegarao...

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

this isn't really true all the time. a lot depends on the driver pa rin. may mga drivers don't know how to shift economically sa manual. ang tagal bumabad sa lower gears. so talo pa rin sila ng matic driver esp. if you know how to drive around the behaviour ng automatic transmission mo.

about shifting to N naman when on a stop, i think it is a good practice not only to save fuel and your transmission, but also to save on your brakes, especially your rotors. one of the main causes of rotor warpage is uneven heating (or cooling, as the case may be). so when you're stepping on the brakes for quite a long time with the rotors hot after several heavy braking, you create hotspots on the rotor... and leave uneven brake deposits that get baked on to the discs. your pad gets heated up too, which may lead to brake fade. syempre, di naman kaagad mag-manifest iyan in just a short time, but it will significantly shorten the working life of your discs. so better you shift to N at a stop, then use the hand brake as the rear discs or drum don't usually go that hot as with the front.

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?

kambiyo para sa setting ng 4WD yang 2H, 4H at 4L. Iba pa yung kambiyo para sa gear changes.

GH,. malakas ba yung consumption ng ASX mo?

Asx bro, around 1800 din *100kph.

Makakatulong ba ung pag lagay nang gear sa nuetral if malapit na sa stoplight? -- saw from some forums.

Pwede rin ba sa a/t ito? Alam ko, sa manual lang.

Yup, pwede rin. same principle to apply.

How is the proper way of using tiptonic trans ? Meaning, can you switch to manual if your in auto cruising at 60-80 kph ?
Pwede bang doing ti the other way around, meaning from auto to manual then auto ulit ?

[joq]

sir masama ba sa at tranny kpag inuenuetral ko habng tumatakbo.. lalo n kapg phinto ka sa trffic light.. eg..came from downhill to traffic light.

Yup it's possible to do it. Been doing it whenever my replacement car has tiptronic tranny

ilagay sa neutral pag fully stop ang vehicle.

mga sir, owner here of Grand Starex A/T. first time to drive an A/T car. Our GS is equipped with tiptronic. Let's say I am driving around 40kph in D" and I need to overtake, do I need to put it on tiptronic "+"? Does it shift to 3rd gear to have enough power to overtake? I haven't tried using the tiptronic gear on our GS. Thanks!

[bobzy]

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.
