Question about Hyundai's AT

[Jet PAC]

Junior it is! Actually, I'm learning to drive it properly. Never shifted to P if I'm just temporarily stopped. In a MT kasi, I normally shift to Neutral as my car is about to stop para brakes na lang kinda slow stop para if nag go bigla, depending on my speed, I can shift to the proper gear to move ahead. (Ex. Slow stop at 20kph shift ko na to 2nd gear pag na go, at 30kph to 3rd gear etc.) But now with this AT, will wait for complete stop!

1. for short stops just keep it in D and just step on the brake.
2. for long stops (some stop lights have timers already so you know how many seconds left before the light turns green) then yes you can put it to N to conserve fuel, and step on the brake or use hand brake.
3. There is no need to put it in P, just step on the brakes while in N. Putting it in P is a disaster waiting to happen if you get hit from behind by another vehicle, sira ang tranny mo nyan. Just keep it in N so that if some id1ot decides to use your car as a brake then at least your tranny will not get damaged.

and lastly...
4. WHY DO YOU SHIFT WHEN YOUR CAR IS STILL MOVING? tignan mo you already accidentally shifted to R. shifting to N while the car is still in motion is the easiest way to fak up your automatic transmission. you never ever shift from D to N when your car is still moving. mamya yan next visit mo sa forum nagtatanong ka na bakit may shift shock na ang tranny mo. just step on the brake gradually until the vehicle stops, then that is the time you shift. makati masyado kamay mo pare. hindi yan manual, AUTOMATIC YAN. and as the name implies, leave it alone, you do not need to play with it.

hawak ka na lang sa kamay ng date mo ng hindi ka shift ng shift. wala kang date hawak na lang kay dayunyor.

Practice makes perfect sir. Buti di naglilikot yung left leg when driving

Left leg behave lang sa foot rest...

hmmmm I usually shift from D to N while decelerating. Approaching intersection/stoplight.

Also kapag sobrang downward slope yung kalsada, naka neutral ako para malessen yung momentum and mas madali magdecelerate.

and from D to +/- while in slow moving motion (hindi na ko nagpfull stop when shifting)

for 2 years ko na ginagawa yon and wala pa naman weird na naeexperience sa tucson ko.

This is not a safe practice. You need engine brake when going downhill and in neutral your tires won't have grip during emergency situations.

For sure hinde ka na din aabot ng 5th year mo kung ganyan ang driving habits mo..

This is a No-No... You need engine braking in downward slope. Shifting to N while in downward slope doesnt lessen your momentum. It adds up since basically your car is free wheeling. Same reason why you use low gears when going downhill in an MT vehicle.

Which only means that you've been lucky so far.

putting it in N on a downward slope? Wow! Just when you need engine braking! The better drivers (not you obviously) will downshift for even better engine braking. Do not be surprised later if you are on a long downhill road (like going down from baguio or even just tagaytay) and your brakes fade due to overheating, just because you do not know how to properly use your engine. Have you ever wondered why there are signs "USE LOW GEAR" when going down mountain roads?

[170kphlang]

di ko talaga magets bakit nilalagay ng iba sa P kapag nasa stoplight, kaya PARK ang P kapag pumarada ka lang (equivalent ng nakapasok sa first gear kapag nakapark ka) and keeping it sa D kahit matagal nakastop sa intersection is like leaving your left foot in the clutch and yung kambyo ay nasa 1st gear while waiting to move on a m/t.

SORRY po pero iclear ko lang, one straight downward slope. If ever napadaan ka sa may Hillcrest Pasig (yung motel area doon), may straight

downward slope doon na may 2 set ng rumble strips. if naka set sa "D" nagiincrease ng speed and continuous upshift.

Of course ibang case yung sa Baguio and Tagaytay or even Antipolo... Never ko ginawa yon doon. downward slalom yun eh..

wag kayong high blood...hahaha!

Naku naku madaming medyo noob sa automatic. :banghead:

^^^ You can switch on overdrive or shift to lower gear. Newer ATs are smarter though, it will downshift when necessary.

[Jet PAC]

D to N at speed just about to stop (mga 10-5kph) I think is ok. But shifting to N at a downward slope? Never done that to an automatic. Since I've mentioned earlier that I'm a long time MT driver. I always value and know the importance of engine breaking... it saved my life one time the brakes of our L300 delivery van failed. However, I noticed in an AT at downhill, if you just rely on engine breaking the whole decent di masyado ramdam medyo mabilis pa din usad. Unlike in an MT when you shift to 1 while decent talagang hangang 20kph ka lang, of course with heavy stress on the engine due to high RPM...

This is also what I notice pag "D" lang parang mabilis pa din usad, never experienced on a long downward slope na nag shift ba kamo at speed? Sa mall parking ko pa lang kasi na try. Going dowm sa Antipolo naman after my car's blessing no traffic so D lang talaga. I guess if you really need engine breaking use manual shifting override ang AT, sa oldies AT yung D1 ba yun and sa mga newbie AT yung sport mode na +/- and just stay at 1st gear.

Mali ka pa din. When you step on the brakes it will automatically downshift. Or you can downshift by yourself.

Hahaha!
