Question about Hyundai's AT

[boytsiks]

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!

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.

^ IMO, unless you're really PARKED, it is normally safer to just put the gear on N then apply handbrake on traffic. When I use AT cars, I don't put the gear on P during traffic cause of the risk that it passes through R to and fro D.

Agree on this, may mga driver na kapag nag stop sa traffic they put on P, kaya kung ikaw ang sumusunod magugulat ka dahil iilaw yung backing light, one time may nasundan ako na ganyan ang ginagawa kada stop, lipat agad ako ng lane mahirap na baka magkamali si mokong.

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?

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.

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.

Naku naku madaming medyo noob sa automatic. :banghead:
