MỌI NGƯỜI ĐỀU BÌNH ĐẲNG TRƯỚC PHÁP LUẬT

Monday, February 5, 2018

Cars with automatic transmissions are very popular for both new and experienced drivers, as they are generally simpler to operate than manual transmissions and can be more comfortable for long trips. These simple steps will guide you in learning to operate an automatic transmission, but remember: before operating any motor vehicle, please make sure you have a valid driver's license and understand all local traffic laws.

Part1
Preparing to Drive

1

Get into your car. Unlock the vehicle with a clicker or key and climb into the driver's side/Mở cửa và ngồi vào chỗ
2

Adjust the car to your needs/Chỉnh xe theo nhu cầu. Adjust your seat in any direction you are able to/find necessary so that you can comfortably reach any controls and see well out of windows/Chỉnh ghế để dễ điều khiển xe và nhìn bên ngoài . Move the mirrors so you can see behind and to the sides of the vehicle clearly/Chỉnh kiếng để nhìn phía sau và bên hông xe rõ ràng . Identify the car's blind spots before you start driving, so that you can check them before making any turns or lane changes/Nhận diện những điểm mù của xe trước khi lái để bạn có thể kiểm tra chúng trước khi quẹo hay đổi làn đường .
3
Identify the controls/Làm quen việc điều khiển xe. It essential to find the accelerator and brake pedals, the steering wheel, the gear selector lever, the light controls, the defroster, and the windshield wipers before you begin/Nên biết vị trí của ga và thắng , tay lái , hộp số , điều khiển ánh sáng , tan tuyết , cần gạt nước.
- The brake and accelerator pedals are located at the bottom front of the area where your feet are. The brake pedal is on the left, the accelerator is on the right/bàn đạp thắng và ga nằm dưới chân bạn
- The steering wheel is the large wheel in the center of the driver's console. Turn it to the left and right to turn the wheels of the vehicle/tay lái : dùng để điều khiển các bánh xe .
- Located on the steering column (usually on the left side) is a small lever that has a rest position in the middle and two locking positions above and below/cần gạt thường ở bên trái tay lái để báo hiệu quẹo (turn signal) . This is the turn signal. Often on the left side of the steering wheel mounted into the console or a knob on one of the levers on the steering column is the control which turns the headlights on and off/cũng có một nút để điều khiển đèn trước (headlight) cũng ở bên trái.
- The gear selector lever will usually be in one of two places: it is either mounted to the right side of the steering column or in-between the driver's and passenger's seats/hộp số có thể gắn ở phía phải của tay lái hay giửa tài xế và hành khách It will have a display showing gear indicators, usually marked with the letters "P", "D", "N", and "R" and a few numbers/có các chữ P , D , N và R và vài số . On steering-column shifting levers, this display is usually located on the instrument panel, underneath the speedometer/Ở hộp số nằm ở tay lái , sẽ hiện chữ dưới bản đo tốc độ.
4

Fasten your seat belt/Gắn seat belt. Ensure that you and any passengers in your vehicle are wearing seat belts at all times.

Part2
Operating the Vehicle in "Drive"

1

Start the car. Place your right foot on the brake pedal and push it down, then insert the key and turn it clockwise to start the vehicle/Khởi động xe . Đặt chân phải trên thắng và đạp xuống , rồi cắm khóa và xoay theo chiều đồng hồ để start xe .
2
Select your gear/sang số. Keep your foot on the brake pedal and shift the gear lever into "Drive."/giử chân trên thắng và sang số sang D . This gear is marked with a "D" on the display panel, and will be highlighted when you've successfully selected it/chữ D sẽ hiện trên bản điều khiển trước mặt bạn .
- For shift levers mounted on the steering column, pull the lever towards you before moving it up and down to select a gear.
- For shift levers mounted on the floor, there is usually a side button to unlock the lever. It can then be moved along its track into position/ở hộp số nằm trên sàn xe , thường có 1 nút bên cạnh để mở khóa cần gạt .
3

Release the parking brake/nhả thắng tay (dùng khi đậu xe) . This is either a lever between the two front seats or a pedal on the far left side of the foot area/đây có thể là cần gạt giửa 2 ghế trước hay 1 bàn đạp ở phía cực trái của các bàn đạp. There may be a release lever above the lower parking brake or a button to push on the topside model before you can disengage it.
4

Check your surroundings. Look all around the car, including blind spots, to see if there are any moving objects or beings in the vicinity. Make sure to keep your eyes mainly on the direction you're moving/quan sát chung quanh , bao gồm điểm mù , v.v...
5

Get your car moving/bắt đầu di chuyển xe . Slowly release pressure on the brake pedal and the car will start to move slowly/từ từ nhả thắng chân và xe từ từ chạy. Take your foot off the brake, use the same foot to press the gas pedal gently, and the car will begin to move faster/chuyển bàn chân qua ga và đạp nhẹ nhàng , và xe bắt đầu chạy nhanh hơn . There is no need to change gears in relation to speed in regular road driving/ko cần sang số nếu chạy bình thường.
6

Turn the steering wheel to turn the car/dùng bánh lái để quẹo xe. In "drive," turn it to the left to turn the car left and turn it to the right to turn the car right.
7

Apply the brakes to slow or stop the car/đạp thắng để xe chạy chậm hay ngừng . Take your right foot off the accelerator pedal and move it to the brake, applying gradual pressure so as not to jerk to a halt/chuyển chân từ ga và đạp thắng từ từ để xe khỏi bị giật trước khi ngừng. When you wish to start again, switch your foot back to the accelerator/nếu bạn muốn khởi động lại , chuyển chân qua ga .
8

Park the car/đậu xe . When you have reached your destination, bring the vehicle to a complete stop by applying gradual pressure to the brake pedal and slide the shift lever back into the "P" position / khi bạn đến nơi , phải để xe ngừng hẳn bằng cách đạp thắng từ từ và chuyển hộp số sang P . Turn off the engine by turning the key counter-clockwise/Tắt máy xe bằng cách xoay khóa ngược chiều đồng hồ . Don't forget to turn off the headlights and apply the parking brake before getting out of the car/đừng quên tắt đèn trước và dùng thắng tay trước khi rời khỏi xe .

Part3
Operating Alternative Gears

1
Travel in Reverse/thụt lui . If you need to travel backward, make sure the vehicle is at a complete stop before changing gears in or out of "reverse/muốn thụt lui , phải để xe ngừng hoàn toàn trước khi sang số R ." Slide the gear shift to select the gear marked "R" and check behind/ around you for any possible obstructions/ sang số về R và quan sát phía sau và chung quanh xe để xem có chướng ngại ko . Gently remove your foot from the brake and place it on the accelerator/ko đạp thắng nữa và đặt chân lên ga .
- When turning in Reverse, your car will turn in the same direction that you turn the wheel/khi thụt lui , xe sẽ chuyển cùng hướng với tay lái. You're just going backwards, so the end of the car will swing in that direction, rather than the front.
2

Use "neutral."/dùng neutral The "neutral" gear is only to be used when you have no need to control the speed of your car, not when driving regularly /neutral chỉ được dùng khi bạn ko cần điều khiển tốc độ , ko dùng khi chạy bình thường. Examples of this include when idling parked for a short time or when being pushed/towed/Dùng khi đậu 1 thời gian ngắn hay nhờ người đẩy hay kéo xe bạn .
3

Use the lower gears/dùng số nhỏ 1 , 2 và 3 . The gears marked "1," "2," and "3" are known as lower gears. These can work as a sort of in-engine brake system when you need to save your actual brakes. Going down steep hills is a good use of this technique/khi xe xuống dốc nên xài các số này. 1st gear, however, is only to be used when you must go very slowly/tuy nhiên , bạn chỉ xài số 1 nếu muốn chạy thật chậm. There is no need to stop when shifting between these gears and Drive/ko cần phải ngừng hẳn khi chuyển các số này sang D .

Can you keep on Neutral when driving down a hill?/có thể dùng neutral khi đổ dốc

wikiHow Contributor

You can, but it is often illegal in some countries/bạn có thể nhưng thường bất hợp pháp ở vài xứ . When the car is in gear, the friction between the engine and the gearbox (as they are connected) will slow the car down (this is known as engine braking)/khi hộp số nối kết với động cơ , ma sát giửa chúng sẽ khiến xe chạy chậm . However, in neutral, the engine and the gearbox are no longer connected, which means this friction no longer occurs/tuy nhiên , nếu ở neutral , máy và hộp số ko nối kết , nghĩa là ko có ma sát . This means more braking power will be required to stop, which can be dangerous when going down hill as your speed will increase/nghĩa là bạn phải đạp thắng nhiều nếu muốn ngừng xe , điều này rất nguy hiểm khi xe đổ dốc và tốc độ tăng cao.

Why must I drive with only one foot?

wikiHow Contributor

For an automatic transmission, it is not necessary to use two feet, because you should never hit the brakes and the accelerator at the same time. Use the rest provided for your second foot.

Will my car go in reverse if I use the brake?/xe tôi thụt lùi nếu tôi thắng

wikiHow Contributor

No. The brake slows down your forward momentum by converting kinetic energy from rotating wheels into heat, or in the case of hybrids, electrical potential energy to store in batteries. Once the car is slowed/stopped, you'd have to engage reverse gear to go into reverse.

Which gear should be for parking in an inclined position?/để ở số nào nếu đậu trên đường dốc

wikiHow Contributor

Your gear should be in P because in a neutral gear without applying any breaks (pedal or handbrake), there is a high possibility that the car may move down depending on the angle of inclination/phải ở P vì xe sẽ tuột dốc dù để ở Neutral .

Does the brake need to be depressed when putting the car in neutral?/thắng cần phải đạp khi xe ở neutral

wikiHow Contributor

Yes, if you don't want the car to move/vâng , nếu bạn muốn xe ko di chuyển .

Can I jump start an automatic car?

wikiHow Contributor

Yes.

Not Helpful 15 Helpful 70
If I release the brake too quickly, will the car turn off? Like it does in a manual transmission when the clutch is released fast?/nếu tôi nhả thắng quá nhanh , xe sẽ tắt máy ? giống như ở xe số tay khi bàn đạp côn/ly hợp được nhả gấp .

wikiHow Contributor

No. In a conventional automatic, a torque converter is used, which allows the engine to stay connected to the transmission so you can come to a complete stop without the car stalling/Ko .Trong xe tự động , xe có thể ngừng hoàn toàn mà ko tắt máy

When stationery, where should the gear lever be positioned?/khi ngừng xe , nên để ở số nào

wikiHow Contributor

If you are parked, place the lever in P (park). If you are stopped for a traffic signal or similar, leave the lever in D (drive) and keep your foot on the brake/nếu bạn đậu xe , để số ở P . Nếu bạn ngừng khi có dấu hiệu giao thông hay tương tự , để ở D và giử chân trên thắng .

My flying wheel keeps breaking. What can be the cause? I often change to neutral in regular drive, in the name of saving fuel consumption, and do not stop completely before changing to drive/neutral/park/tôi thường chuyển về neutral khi lái bình thường , hầu tiết kiệm xăng , và ko ngừng hoàn toàn trước khi chuyển sang D , N , P . Could that be the cause of the flying wheel getting destroyed?

wikiHow Contributor

Going into park while the car is moving is a massive no-no. When you put the car into park, a prawl locks the output gear and prevents it from turning. If you engage park whilst the car is moving, you will destroy either the prawl or the output gear (which is a very expensive job to fix). Just leave the car in drive until you come to park up unless you're stuck in a traffic jam. You'll have more control of the car and in some situations leaving it in drive provides better fuel economy (in a modern car) as the engine will use the speed of the wheels to keep the engine rotating rather than providing fuel (in neutral it cannot do that).

Some cars have a plus and minus sign on them. What does this mean?

wikiHow Contributor

This is for when you're in sport mode. If you bump the shifter towards the +, the car will up shift, and down towards the - will downshift.
