1, continuously variable transmission is a kind of automatic gearbox, also called CVT gearbox, which is smoother than ordinary automatic gearbox.
2. No influence.
3. The fuel consumption is also lower than that of ordinary automatic gear boxes.
4. The disadvantage is high maintenance cost.
5. The service life is shorter than that of ordinary automatic box tips.
Fuel saving skills of extended data automatic transmission
The soaring oil price makes many car owners feel heartache, especially those who drive automatic cars. They are more worried that the oil price will bring them extra expenses. In fact, some good habits of cultivating automatic cars can be adhered to and used correctly, and automatic cars can also save fuel.
Generally, automatic cars have P gear (parking gear), R gear (reverse gear), N gear (neutral gear) and D gear (forward gear), so it is necessary to pay attention to the rational use of automatic gears in order to save fuel more reasonably. When driving on a flat city road, the gear should always be in D gear, and the automatic gearbox will automatically shift gears without additional manual operation.
When parking for a short time, such as encountering a short red light at an intersection, just step on the brake, but if the parking time exceeds 2 minutes, you should shift into N gear, which can protect the gearbox and prevent the gearbox oil from overheating.
Note: When waiting for the red light, never shift to P gear, because when shifting to P gear, the gearbox will have a locking mechanism to jam the gearbox gear. Once a rear-end collision occurs, the gearbox gear will strongly collide with the locking mechanism of the wheel drive, damaging the gearbox. At this time, a simple vehicle injury accident turned into a repair accident of gearbox damage; Simply understand that P gear (parking: meaning) can only be used when the engine is really turned off.
When you start to accelerate, don't slam on the accelerator, which will only increase the speed, lead to the roar of the engine and the wear of the gearbox, and lead to unnecessary waste of fuel. You should step on the accelerator lightly, downshift at a low speed and increase the torque to speed up, gradually and evenly speed up, and then speed up again, so that the car with automatic transmission will feel smoother.
When climbing a hill with D gear, if stepping on the accelerator can't make the power as strong as on a flat road, you should immediately change to a low gear with high torque, which will save fuel and reduce engine wear. Don't refuel violently when the city road meets uphill. Come on, speed up before going uphill.
Bigfoot throttle and brakes are the main culprits of high fuel consumption. It is absolutely fuel-efficient to close the throttle early, and it is no slower to continue to refuel than to stop at the last minute.
Of course, it should be pointed out that:
The above description of fuel economy is limited to the road conditions with few cars in the suburbs. At present, traffic jams in big cities in China are getting more and more serious in the morning and evening, and the fuel consumption is the most serious when vehicles are congested. Therefore, if you drive in a big city, it will save fuel when you start with a moderate throttle, because the speed of the whole road fleet has been improved, and there can be13 more cars at the same traffic light, which saves the time on the road and reduces the time of congestion.
