Sa mga A/T, at the stop light, naka D, N or P

[dfopiso]

hi tsikoteers, I would like to know your "habits": if nasa stop light kayo waiting for the green light, nasa D, N or P ang auto tranny nyo?

I will start. Pag matagal-tagal pa, naka N and foot break ako. Sometimes, naka D and stepping on the breaks. Never akong ng P

TIA

[yapoy86]

mas ok yan... put your transmission in N is good plus hand brakes... no need to put it in P.. P stands for park.. so why place it at P in traffic?? it also lessens the work of your transmission engaging and disengaging in R

P pag pinatay mo na kotse mo

pag masyadong matagal ang traffic, nilalagay ko sa N

pero pag stop and go or traffic light, apak lang sa brakes para hindi gaano ma-strain ang tranny

[frequenzy]

mga ATs now ok lang nasa D lage. definitely not P.

[Mguy]

Depends. .. If I approach a stop light and I know malapit na sya mag Go, I leave it on D while pressing the brake. Kapag alam ko na matagal ang hintayan, I put in on N and press the foot brake. Rarely do I put it at P.

[jonski]

Kapag sandali lang ay nasa D lang siya plus apak ang break pero kapag alam ko na matagal pa ang green light ay lagay ko N plus handbrake. Lagay ko lang sa P kapag nasa parking na ako.

Same with the others. If I know it'll turn green within the next 20 seconds or so, I keep it at D. If it just turned red, I shift to N.

[robot.sonic]

D kung medyo nasa hulihan na ako ng pila. ibig sabihin medyo matagal na na naka red. pag nasa unahan ako at kaka red lang, N and hand brake. nakakapagod din kasi umapak sa foot break.

[shadow]

Lagi ko nilalagay sa N.

I put it on N, then apak sa foot brake. Pag malapit na mag go, shift na sa D bago release sa foot brake.

[CoDer]

N pag matagal ang stop.

Normally, naka-D ako at tapak lang sa preno....

Pero, kung mabigat sa paa,- like palusong or matagal, like kapapalit lang sa red, then lipat ako sa N at tapak sa preno... Kuwidaw lang sa pagbalik sa D,- may mga pagkakataon that you're not thinking straight at puwedeng mailagay sa R...

Kaya,- maganda ang gated automatic shifter,- it will take you an extra effort to wrongly place it to R (from N).....

Ang field master ba gated type?

Ganyan yun umatras saken before, sa stoplight kaka red lang i saw the field master infront of me nilagay sa "P".
nung nag green na ayun sa reverse binalik, the worst part umapak pa sa gas kaya ang lakas ng impact saken.

Nope it is not gated. Mali kasi yung nag-P pa siya. Baguhan siguro kaya yung susunod kasi dun ay R. tapos N, D. Kinulang ng 2 pababa yung driver nun. Human error. May button kasi to shift from N,D to P or R. Pero N at D wala. So kung N ka lang, D lang mapupuntahan mo. Hindi ka sana nabangga. ;)

Dapat kapag saglit lang eh D lang, kapag matagal, N tapos use parking brake dapat.

Quite a number of drivers, particularly the ones who picked up bad driving habits from other drivers who didn't know any better, often practice improper driving by not shifting to neutral when the car is not moving. While I would like to tell you that there is a good reason (under normal circumstances) for keeping it in D and stepping on the brakes at a stop, I can't. It's mostly born out of laziness and improper training.

As you have correctly surmised, the engine does consume more fuel and you do wear down your brake-system components more when you leave your transmission in D or Drive while the traffic light is red or when you’re idling and waiting.

With automatic transmissions, the engine is energizing or driving the transmission to move in the direction of the gear you've selected--forward or reverse. When you keep it in gear, you are telling your vehicle to move; when you're on the brakes, you're preventing motion. You're unnecessarily and slowly raising your automatic transmission fluid, wearing out your transmission clutches, and consuming more fuel because you're on the brakes to keep the car from inching forward. You're also unnecessarily wearing down and heating up your brake pads. By simply shifting to N or neutral there would be no need to apply the brakes with the amount of force required to resist forward motion.

Should you really shift to neutral when stuck in traffic? - Motormouth Online | TopGear.com.ph

So, as much as possible, put to "N"!

OT: based sa description above, gated A/T yata ako ... tigas i-shift from P to R

^ tama nga, gate-type H-matic sabi sa specs

cguro im one the few who doesnt agree with the topgear article.it may be true sa mga old school ATs pero sa ngayon parang hindi na to applicable. mas mura ang brake pad kesa transmission.hehe

But keeping it in D actually heats up your ATF, aside from the wear on the brake pads. You'd have to weigh the stress on the tranny by shifting to N and engaging back to D, compared to the stress on the ATF and brakes.

Add ko lang, pag nasa D kasi mas mataas ang idling konti, kaya better to N. Pansin ko to sa Starex ko, kapag lalabas ng grahe from P to R or D, nag iiba na tunog ng makina, it means nataas konti na ang idling niya.
