No
not if you drive it accordingly
steep hills are best negotiated in low fears with plenty of rpm applied
for example on a steep grade with a manual 1st or 2nd or possibly 3rd and the rpm around 2000 constant will cause it no harm
automatics will go to first automatically so keep the rpm at that mark
engine damage is experienced when the gear selected is too high and the engine is placed under extreme load so down shift to allow the engine to work easily
When going down hill select first and only use the brakes to maintain the 2000 rpm range and allow the engine compression to hold the car speed back
the rule of thumb for experienced drivers is this
you select the same gear to go down that it took to come up
2 issues, 1: MPG, you failed to say MPG, 15mpg? or 39? is 39 low? what MPG? you never said it?
2: rpm cruise. (what drive line, A/T M/T ?) what tranny? first google hit , is this it? this yours? engine: 1.5-litre 4-cylinder petrol, 75 kW/133 Nm Transmissions: 5-speed manual, 4-speed automatic, FWD
3300 RPM in 5th and 100km if you wish to now what is normal, find the final drive ratio, listed in the FSM. Id say this is normal. typical of tiny engines, with low torque.at lower RPMs.
if you have the A/T and IF the trannywere to slip, the TCM will infact throw DTC codes, telling you it did. IS IT? (scan tools show you this fact as might that glowing CEL lamp on the dash, on driving.
RPM my 1.6L spins 3000 RPM , at below tranny options valve counts. 54/59mph (104km/hr = 59) 5sp MT. 64.6 4sp A/T (goes fastest due to more aggressive OD + axle ratio is lower.) 56/.53 2sp A/T see how drive line effects RPM? so will your cars options.
if you drive on hills at high rpm ur engine temp. will surely shoot up due to the load on ur engine while trying to gain the desired speed/ u should not drive uphill with high rpm try to maintain low speed with low rpm
First I need to ask is it a 4 speed or a 3 speed transmission. If it's a 4 speed when driving down the road pull it from drive to third gear. You shpuld hear the engine speed up if it does not then that means you have on 4th gear and you will have to take it to a transmission shop. If it's a 3 speed then just count the shift points if all 3 gears are present then drive down the road and see if the van goes into tcc. When you mean the rpms are high how high are they.
With normal acceleration the 1st to second shift point should be around 2500-3000 rpm. Most of your shifts under moderate acceleration will take place at this same point or when there a light load on the transmission. Under hard acceleration the RPMs will climp higher due to increased power needs and the computer will shift when less power is needed or the RPMs climb to an unsafe speed say5000-6000rpms (depending on where yours redlines). Also going up a steep hill will raise the RPMs higher and goind down a hill will cause a faster shift at lower RPMs. These can always be altered by an individual owner by adjusting shift points, using performance parts and if you have problems (low tranny fluid/trans issues). Your trans RPMS are fine and will vary depening on how your foot accelerates. The shift pattern should be the same every time you drive slow/medium/fast/, look for changes in those patterns you will also catch a problem early.
