Buyer's Guide: How to Purchase Automatic Cars
With a rise in the city traffic congestion, most of the customers are scouting for gearless cars. However, there are only limited automatic transmission options. Sedans and SUV's are just to name a few. Now let us discuss some of the major things to remember while purchasing automatic cars.
Majority of the people opt automatic cars like Hyundai I10 and Maruti A-Star. One of the most popular automatic Sedan is the Honda City Automatic.
Transmission fluid quality is another aspect to be considered in the case of automatic cars. You are required to open the bonnet and examine the filler/dipstick for any sorts of automatic transmission fluid. It can be executed manually by unscrewing.
Check for any sorts of discoloration in the automatic transmission since it is red in color. Replace it immediately if the color has changed to brown. If it appears to be black in color, step aside from the vehicle as there might be issues with the transmission and the fluid may burn.
Quick Reminder - Check the Fluid Level
The level of fluid should be at maximum point when it is hot or falls below while cold. If it is too low, there might be chances of leakage of transmission fluid.
Always turn on the ignition in 'Park' mode. It should start and proceed without emitting any sorts of transmission sound.
Later, pull the hand brake and gently press the brake pedal while shifting the transmission to 'D' mode (drive mode). While releasing the hand brake, the car should move smoothly without any jerk.
Quick Reminder - Examine Each Modes in Detail
Try shifting the transmission to various modes and verify if the car is running smoothly. Check out the operation of paddle shifts and tiptronic lever if the car is equipped with a paddle shift function.
