With the advantages of convenient operation and comfortable driving, the vehicles with automatic transmission are loved by more and more car owners. The correct use of automatic transmission, not only can reduce fuel consumption, reduce pollution, but also can effectively reduce the occurrence of faults. However, if the owner's operation is rude and incorrect, it will cause premature wear of the automatic transmission and reduce its service life. So, in the end, how to correctly operate the automatic transmission and reduce the maintenance of automatic transmission?

一、起动与起步

1、 Starting and starting

车主必须注意，将操纵手柄放置于P挡或N挡时，才可启动自动变速箱，此时要拉紧手制动或踩下制动踏板。

The owner must pay attention to that the automatic transmission can only be started when the control handle is placed in P or n gear. At this time, the hand brake shall be tightened or the brake pedal shall be stepped down.

车辆起步时应先踩下制动踏板，挂档后，松开手制动，然后平稳抬起制动踏板，待车辆缓慢起步后再逐渐踩下油门踏板。

When starting the vehicle, first step on the brake pedal. After shifting into gear, release the hand brake, and then lift the brake pedal steadily. After the vehicle starts slowly, step on the accelerator pedal gradually.

二、道路行车

2、 Road driving

车辆在平路上行驶时，可将档位放置于D挡，根据油门大小和车速高低来变换档位。注意，并不是一直加大油门节气门开度就可以升入高速挡，正确的操作方式是在车速达到一定值后，做到收油门提前升挡，踩油门提前降挡。

When the vehicle is driving on a flat road, the gear can be placed in the D gear, and the gear can be changed according to the size of the accelerator and the speed. Note that it is not always possible to shift into high gear by continuously increasing the throttle opening. The correct operation mode is to close the throttle to upshift in advance and step on the throttle to downshift in advance after the vehicle speed reaches a certain value.

车辆在坡道上行驶时，可在D挡位下用油门和踏板和制动踏板来控制汽车上下坡的速度。如遇较长坡路，应切至S或L档位，有效的避免自动变速箱内部元件磨损，并且可化利用发动机怠速牵制作用。

When the vehicle is driving on the ramp, the speed of the car can be controlled by the accelerator, pedal and brake pedal in D gear. In case of long slope, it should be switched to s or l gear to effectively avoid the wear of internal components of automatic transmission, and maximize the use of engine idle holding effect.

三、停车

3、 Parking

如果停车时间短，可以在D挡时直接踩下制动踏板停车即可。

If the parking time is short, you can directly step on the brake pedal in D gear to stop.

如果停车时间长，可在D挡踩下制动踏板的同时拉紧手制动。

If the parking time is long, step on the brake pedal in D gear and tighten the hand brake at the same time.

如果停车时间很长，可将档位置于N挡，拉紧手制动后松开制动踏板，以免造成自动变速箱油温过高和应制动时间长而使制动灯消耗过多的蓄电池电能。

If the parking time is very long, shift the gear to n gear, and release the brake pedal after tightening the hand brake, so as not to cause the high oil temperature of the automatic transmission and the long braking time, which will cause the brake lamp to consume too much battery power.
