By the way, in Tata Tiago AMT, we have been told, we can change from Automatic to Manual mode, without pressing the brake, even if car is running. However, you say in the video (2.36) to change from Automatic to Manual, we need to press the break. I have changed from automatic to manual - on high ways - without pressing the break! I think, you are wrong in that assumption. Would it not be dangerous to put brake while running at high speed on highway and try to change to manual?

[@howzzthat]

Hi , Apologies for such a late reply , Yes you are right , However to change gear in manual mode you need to press break, That will be critical to handle while driving on hills.

[@jyothismgeorge6013]

Sir i use tata nexon amt yesterday took delivery when i tried reversing in a hilll by delaying some time means stopping sometimes to check surrounding the vehicle refuse to climbe and i gave full throttle and it climbs with a jump then ok with a slight input it come but taking it from hault in hill is a task or slowing down in hill how can we fix this any ways😑

[@howzzthat]

Yes , i checked the video and found that @2.37 you have rightly highlighted it , i thank you for that. in this vehicle also pressing break is not required for switching from drive to manual . however to bring it out of neutral it is required.

[@JustBe1974]

Good that u have taken note of the above point. Regarding changing from neutral to Manual, may be yes. I never tried it while running. Our Tiago manual says, never drive the car on neutral. So sticking to that advice. In fact, I have seen some video and also heard from others too that running on neutral is not safe. In case, there is emergency and we need to respond quickly, then engine will not be in our control while being in neutral. So, I prefer to be on Manual mode and use break while going downhill.

[@amitrathore4364]

@@JustBe1974 How is the loss of power issue in your tiago amt ??

[@JustBe1974]

@@amitrathore4364 Did not understand your question. If u mean to ask whether it takes time to increase the speed while overtaking etc., then answer is 'yes'. That is the only shortcoming with Tiago AMT. Other than that everything is fine so far. Have driven more than 10000km so far. But not much on highway.

[@skumarcrypto4897]

What if there is no manual option like Kwid AMT

[@shivanand3972]

Never use neutral while coming down to save petrol and no need to switch to manual in AMT during uphill.

[@howzzthat]

Thank you Shiva for taking out time for watching and commenting on video. Yes absolutely correct.

[@PirateLordAizen]

Tata or Hyundai Cars can handle hills in Automatic mode, you don't have to switch to manual.

[@ashishparmar9536]

Every amt can handle hills no matter its tata hyundai or maruti they use same magneti marelli module it upon you ....it us recommended to use manual coz to avoid gear change during upsloping

[@alfonsomartinez7919]

depends on what hills you are talking about

[@JustBe1974]

Thanks for the useful video. You say, we can use Manual mode even while we are going down the hill. If slope is too sharp, straight and for a fairly good amount of distance, will not indicator ask us to increase the gear level from 1 as speed increases? So we can keep on increasing the gear as long as we feel that we are within the speed? Or should we control the speed using the brake in such a way that we are never asked to change the gear from recommended first gear? Wish to use our AMT car soon on steep hills.

[@howzzthat]

Hi Be For truth and Peace , Thank you for taking out time in watching and commenting , Coming to your queries , 1# if the vehicle has been put into manual mode , then the vehicle stays in that whichever gear it is into until driver changes it , the only indicator is noise coming from car , Celerio does not have any such mechanism to advise/ ask driver to change the gear , though it shows which gear it is running on. 2# Going with my personal experience i would say coming downhill is more riskier that going uphill , reason being gravity and slope of hilly terrain and that is why i never tried enjoying speed while coming downhill and i suggest you the same , the idea behind this was to live to drive and see more and many places . so safety and only safety was on priority. 3# Using breaks regularly will heat it up and all of a sudden it surprises , so always take proper amount of break while coming downhill , this will let you enjoy the beauty of nature and keeps the journey going and safe. i went to Ooty with this vehicle many times , that has 36 sharp hairpin bends and the drive is also steep and lengthy , so i decided to take 10 mins break after passing 12 bends , and thus was able to finish all of them without any trouble in 3 strokes. i hope this would be useful for you , i wish you a safe and happy journey in coming days ... let me know if you have any further queries. Thank you for watching .

Hi Jyothis , Thank you for taking out time in watching and posting your query, first of all congratulations for your new vehicle , I can understand your query completely as i have sometimes faced it in the beginning , however let me assure you this is not an issue , i would advise to use manual mode whenever you need a better control over vehicle in terms of power and control on acceleration. Also try to keep your foot light while accelerating.

Thumb Rule... Never come down in NEUTRAL, trying to save fuel... Your control over Brake will be gone..

[@howzzthat]

Thank you Sowdi for taking out time for watching and commenting on video. First of all apologies for such a late reply. Yes you are right in suggesting " While coming downhill, Never Put NEUTRAL" That's the same thing i also emphasized at 2:22 of the video.

[@ajmalghan]

Why Manual mod in Uphill ?? Which mode has more mileage ( automatic or manual ) in AMT?

[@howzzthat]

Hi Ajmal, on hills you barely get right mileage figures, moreover safety is important than mileage, hence for better control use manual.

[@Sumesh209]

Dont ever use left leg for break

[@vigneshp14]

You said 7th step not to use both brake and accelerator. Then how do we move a little at a time in a steep location without rolling back? Thank you

[@howzzthat]

Hi Vignesh , Thank you for watching and commenting , Coming to your query i meant overdoing it not good for your safety , it may turn into habit and that is risky , sometime when there is an absolute need of it you may find it handy, however using handbrake is also an option.

[@vigneshp14]

@@howzzthat My work route has a signal which is on a very slopy terrain, using handbrake 3-4times in one signal is difficult for me. So I use it. Using 2 or 3 times a day is fine right?

Hi RK D , In signals i keep it on D , with breaks applied if signal is less than 2 mins else i switch off the vehicle. Generally Switching off i rarely required.

Doesn't matter, as long as you apply the breaks the vehicle won't move. If you want to remove your foot off the break, then put the vehicle in N and use the hand breaks.
