Under manual gearshift mode, the
selected gear by the driver will be
displayed in digit type in the display
screen. The figure takes gear 2 for
instance.
Start
Keep the engine at idle speed, step
down the brake pedal, move the
gearshift lever to drive gear, release the
brake pedal slowly, at the same time
step down the accelerator pedal slightly
and the vehicle will start drive slowly.
Under special conditions (such as on
the road covered with snow and ice), it
may select gear 2 under manual
gearshift mode as the start gear.
The vehicles with automatic
transmission can’t be started
by trailing or pulling the
vehicles. Please conduct jumper start
by means of connecting the jumper
cable to the support battery.
Forced Downshift (Kick Down)
This automatic transmission has
internal nominal Kick Down mode.
When on upward abrupt slopes or at
overdrive, the transmission will shift to
low speed gear from high speed gear
automatically by stepping down and
holding the accelerator pedal to the end
at gear D so as to achieve the require
great torque.
The vehicle will shock slightly at the
same time when at forced downshift for
acceleration, which is the effects of
forced downshift instead of the engine
acceleration tremble. All above are
related to the rapid stepping down of
accelerator, which are the important
driving essentials the driver must
master.
It’s difficult to downshift for
acceleration if stepping down the
accelerator slowly. If stepping down
the accelerator to the half or two third
of stroke, it’s impossible to obtain
sufficient acceleration horsepower
(torque), even though it can obtain the
increasing of some horsepower (torque).
That’s the cause why the customers
