just a quick question, suppose ung gear natin nasa 5th or 4th gear, when decreasing the speed, do u normally shift down one gear at a time? or let's say, from 4th gear, derecho 2nd gear?

what's the best practice? kc ako i usually shift down one gear at a (5th to 4th, 4th to 3rd, 3rd to 2nd).

*qtshecu,

Here's my practice:

1. Shifting up- 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th, 5th (In order)

2. Shifting down- Depende. Usually, from current gear, Neutral ako palagi (No intention to overtake or Not sure kung ano next move ko). Then, depende sa speed and RPM (this will take cross-checking or feeling), I shift to the desired gear (Nasa manual naman). Say, from 5th gear-Neutral-then desired gear.

I found the practice helpful sa mga sudden stop or intention to stop. Brake na lang ang tinatapakan ko. Hindi ako namamatayan ng makina. I saw this practice among jeepney/taxi drivers many years back. For me, It really helps.

May nabasa ako dati na di daw safe na iwan ang car sa neutal while moving, you will never know if you will need engine braking or sudden acceleration daw kasi. Kung gradual ang pag slow down ko, I downshift sequencially. So para if I need power, gas na lang ang tatapakan. Nasa right gear na ako. Nag skip lang ako ng gear/s pag sudden decceleration.

Driving Tip. Ang stock na brakes ay humihina pag mainit na. Use engine brake to support the brakes to prevent over heat ng brakes. Iyon mga bababa ng bundok tulad ng baguio, take note.

Driving tip: In a 2-lane road, when overtaking, do not upshift in the middle of the overtaking maneuver. Up shift only when you are safely in front of the overtaken vehicle. Why? Delikado na mabitin kung nagkamali ka sa pag shift - di pumasok.

I agree somewhat. Kapag M/T ang gamit kong sasakyan, madalas akong mag-neutral para makatipid sa fuel, but at the same time, naka-ready ako na mag-kambyo ulit kung saan at kailan nararapat (either downshift for engine braking or upshift for sudden acceleration, depende sa flow ng traffic at dami ng kasabayang sasakyan). Baka dala na rin ng pagka-Kapampangan ko ito, tantiya-tantiya (lalo na/kahit sa pagluluto)...

Sa A/T din, madalas akong mag-neutral, lalo na't malapit nang tumigil (traffic, humps, atbp.)... Bakit? Kasi, mas malakas ang preno dahil hindi pinipilit ng makina na isulong pa rin ang sasakyan. Kapag malapit nang tumama sa humps, ibinabalik ko na sa "D" para fluid ang motion.

[_Qwerty_]

pag A/T pano ang engine break? nararamdaman ko yan minsan pag downhill.. tapos ni release ko yung gas without stepping on the break.. parang nag slow down sya with engine breaking..

Use 2, 1 or L.

Di ko alam ang format ng A/T ng Avanza.

Sa 1.6 Altis A/T, I can turn off the O/D para kung nasa 4'th gear, bumaba ng 3rd. Sa Shift lever, available ang 2 at L.

I don't own an Avanza, I do have a Civic and Accord A/T but I am sure it also applies.... Use the lower gears like D3, 2, and L. The lower the gear used the stronger the engine breaking so if you want maximum engine breaking use L. Use this for steep downhills pero be warned it also consumes more gas than the standard D gear so use it only when needed..... Hope that helps....

Sir Marfin, kung 600 yung pair/set ng scuffplate outer cover at kung matutuloy ako sa EB (dahil may magpaparaya sa beige pullhandles), ako na ang bibili niyang outer covers na yan.

Thanks for being so helpful sa mga nagpapabili...

Additonal lang sa DT 2:
It is my practice lalo na sa 2 lane road lang, for safety purposes, when the overtaking car comes abreast of me, I slow down a bit to give the overtaking car plenty of room to maneuver. Kasi, kung di ko bibigyan ng room, tapos bigla lang me kasalubong, ang tendency ng overtaking car is to swerve unto your lane, which may cause unwanted accidents.

That is what you call defensive driving.
