4 COSAS QUE DEBES EVITAR EN UN COCHE AUTOMÁTICO - Velocidad Total

4 things you should avoid in an automatic car: These tips and advice cover what not to do in a car with an automatic transmission to avoid damaging it, extend its lifespan, and make it last much longer. Some things, like starting off with a skid in an automatic, can severely damage the transmission's mechanical components. Putting the car in neutral and revving the engine before shifting into drive is very damaging to the internal components. Never do this. A gentler alternative, though not the best, is to press the brake with your left foot while in drive, and with your right foot, slightly rev the engine before releasing the brake. This will allow you to accelerate as quickly as possible without excessively damaging the transmission. Another important point is that when stopped at a traffic light, some people believe that shifting into neutral is good because it saves fuel or because the transmission suffers "stress" from being stopped in drive. This is not advisable, as frequent shifting between neutral and drive is also not good, and the fuel savings are minimal. In any case, you should turn off the vehicle if you're going to be stopped for a long time. Something you should never do is put the car in neutral on a downhill slope or simply while moving, as you lose control of the vehicle, you don't have the opportunity to accelerate, and you compromise stability. And finally, you should always be stopped when shifting between P-R-N-D. This is to avoid abrupt gear changes; the transmission isn't designed for braking. I hope these tips are helpful and useful.
