How to properly drive an automatic transmission car during traffic?

[victorevolution]

Prob is, traffic eh!

===
By the way, wag din tumutok sa mga FX & UV express vans. Minsan yung mga kamoteng pasahero sa likod, walang pakialam mag open ng rear hatch.

tama isa pa yang mga hayop na yan

Nakakainis talaga yung mga naka lagay sa park (based on how the reverse light briefly turns up), pag sa stoplight ang bagal umarangkada kasi kelangan pa ishift.

And most of the time, titingin sa shifter kung tama ba. So unsafe kasi for a brief moment, you take your eyes off the road. Eh kung may bata na biglang tumawid na mahirap mapansin since maliit?

It's not only in the Philippines, I'm sure other parts of the globe some driver is also doing that.

I don't get some drivers who put their cars on Park during traffic or on a stoplight???? From D, ilalagay all the way to P then ibabalik to D pag uusad na. I noticed this kasi nakikita ko nagbblink yung reverse lights nila, meaning na dumaan sa Reverse yung shifter.


What I do pag traffic or sa stoplight more than 1 minute, I put it on N, pull up the hand-brake in order to cause unnecessary wear sa brakes

when one puts it on P, the car stops moving, even without the brake pedal. driver does not have to have to go to the trouble of activating his hand brake.
normally naman kasi, no harm is done with this maneuver.

I don’t trust the handbrake bro, mura lang naman ang bumbilya [emoji23]

Swerte yung ibang equipped with e-hold ba yun?

I'm not sure if this is the right thread for this question, but anyway, please enlighten me on this: Yung parking area namin dito is naka-elevate so pag nagpapark kami, we have to control the car properly kasi uphill yung pagpasok. May instances na backing ako magpark, then one time habang nagrereverse ako sa uphill, bigla kong nabitawan yung brake which caused the car to move forward. My question is, is that okay? Meron bang possibility na ma-damage yung transmission ng oto ko or what so ever? If that so, any advise or meron bang proper way to do that and vice versa? Advisable din po bang tapakan ang brake while pressing gas pedal then slightly release the brake pedal to move? Thanks in advance!

Instead of using the brake pedal, use the hand brake

Is that okay even if its CVT?

no harm will come to the transmission, or the engine, po.
transmission slip is normal in AT or CVT cars.
you'll run out of right feet, if you press on the gas pedal and the brake pedal at the same time. it just ain't practical. i agree with sid: use the handbrake.
and you will eventually notice, using the handbrake in instances like this, is easier if the handbrake is adjusted according to spec.

I see. How about using hand break, ano po pwede maging prob nito sa katagalan kung ganun yung gagawin?

just like the pedal brakes, the brake shoes wear out faster, if one uses the handbrake often.
but the wear is so miniscule, hindi mo mapupuna. it is practically a non-issue.

the handbrake mechanism is also expected to endure more wear and tear.

but it's no big deal, as they are doing what they were designed to do.

Shouldn't be a problem. MTs uses this all the time when "hanging" on traffic to avoid burning the clutch . You did drive a manual yes?

While reversing in uphill, pull handbrake to stop the car rolling forward, then slowly release it while pressing the gas pedal to reverse completely. Is that correct?

Brake pedal to full stop... Then lift the hand brake.... Then release the brake pedal.. A little throttle... Release hand brake.

Always use the brake pedal to stop.

Copy, thanks sa advice mga paps! [emoji4]

Hi! noob here sa A/T cars. How about pag running uphill then nasa D ako and pag na notice ko nag-struggle/hirap yung engine, what i did was to shift it directly to a lower gear say D-3 ba yun or 3? any harm on the tranny? what is the best practice sa ganong situation? Tapos kapag naka-ahon na sa uphill, i switched it again to D.

[_Qwerty_]

just release the gas pedal when changing gears.

Revving up doesnt mean hirap ang engine. The sound of toyotas and hondas above 4000rpm is good.

If you're slowly losing speed just step on the accelerator more, it will automatically drop a gear. If you step on it too hard it will drop 2 gears( medyo mabigat paa mo and more fuel is needed/consumed)

yes sir qwerty, ni-release ko yung gas pedal while shifting to lower gear and vice-versa.

oo nga sir stockengine, losing speed might be the proper term.

so i guessed no harm was done to the tranny. thanks for answering
