Facing an ascending or derivative path, Driver Matic should know this

 The practicality offered and the increasingly crowded traffic conditions became one of the reasons for the automatic car loved

The need for automobiles with automatic transmissions is now increasing. Moreover, with traffic conditions in big cities, such as Jakarta with an incredible density.

By using automatic transmission, the driver will get the ease and pleasure in driving. However, when on the hill or derivative, there are still many riders who have not been able to optimize the power of the car automatic transmission.

Here, three easy tips to maximize power when road conditions rise and fall, as reported by pressroomtoyotaastra.com, written Sunday (4/2/2018):

1) Use the over-drive (O / D)

Over Drive (O / D) is an option embedded in the automatic transmission type. The O / D option is used when the engine requires higher engine speed, especially in the uphill position and ahead of the vehicle.

Operation of O / D option has different ways in each vehicle. However, for Toyota products, the O / D option is presented via a button at the bottom of the gear button lock. To activate it, just press the button then the machine adjusts to high rotation.

2) Move the lever to the low position

Automatic transmission has several position steps adjusted based on driving needs. Road contours are often unpredictable to riders, for which automatic transmissions are equipped with the lowest acceleration option known as the 1 / L (low) position.

At 1 / L (low) position, acceleration is set to produce maximum torque according to power requirements. As for road contours decreasing, position 1 / L (low) helps braking through engine brake.

As for the contour of the road up the ramps, you should move the lever in position 2 / S (Second). In that position, it produces the right combination of torque and power to make a climb.

3) Use semi-manual shift (Sport Sequential Shiftmatic / Paddle Shift)

Technological developments make the semi-manual option or in Toyota called Sport Squential Shiftmatic, as a variant of the automatic transmission. Semi-manual, delivering the acceleration acceleration as in manual transmission without stepping on the clutch pedal.

Automatic Transmission with Sport Squential Shiftmatic, enabling riders to get more power to the maximum by making the acceleration of movement like through the hills with the contours of the road uphill and down.

To activate Sport Squential Shiftmatic, the rider simply moves the lever at position S (sport) or M (Manual), then the lever is moved forward and backward for acceleration shift.
