Automatic gear with snake and knob? How to use the knob?
When learning a car, you usually learn manual transmission, but when it comes to buying a car, most people will choose automatic transmission. When we choose automatic transmission, I don't know if you have noticed that the automatic transmission of many models is different, such as snake-shaped and in-line. Now the new models also have knobs.
Let's talk about the seemingly simple in-line bar first.
Straight rod
As the name implies, the in-line lever is the gear of the car, for example, "R, P, N, D, S" are all in a straight line. Although its gear position is a straight line, it saves a lot of operations when shifting gears, but its internal structure is still complicated. A car has many gears, and their positions are not fixed. Direct gears need to be fixed in a straight line. This operation is very simple.
Therefore, when shifting gears, it is necessary to grasp the strength of shifting gears. Once the force is too strong, it will hang the wrong gear. It may not be suitable for beginners, because it is easy to hang the wrong gear without looking at the gear operation; Looking down, it is easy to ignore the road conditions and it is risky. If you are in a hurry, you will add fuel to the fire.
Serpentine gear
Its shifting route is just like its name, serpentine. Its biggest advantage is that you only need to remember the corresponding position of each gear.
When shifting gears, there is no problem even if you don't need to look at it, because every position is fixed. In case of danger, you need to brake quickly. In this way, there will be no file hanging errors, which can protect our lives and health to a great extent, especially for some novices. Be sure to remember the position of each gear. But it also has its shortcomings, that is, you must remember the position of each gear, and the operation is a bit complicated when shifting gears, which will not be so convenient.
Knob gear
The knob shift lever is also an electronic shift lever, but it has different forms. It was first used in jaguar XF cars. At present, many models of Jaguar and Land Rover have adopted knob shift levers. When the shift lever is turned off, the knob will go down to form a plane with the center console, which looks exquisite. After starting the engine, the knob will rise. This design has little contribution to humanization, but it seems to have a strong sense of science and technology and is dazzling.
Originally, I thought that knob shifting was only the patent of hundreds of thousands and millions of luxury cars. But there are also some restless mini-cars whose prices should be high and low, such as Changan Benz and Yi Kai.
In fact, you can choose according to your own characteristics. Novices suggest that it is best to use a snake-shaped car, so that even if they are not skilled in operation, there will be no problem driving. If you are an old driver, you will have a wider choice. You can choose any one.
However, we must pay attention to one problem, and be careful when shifting gears, otherwise the wear and tear on the gearbox will be very great.
