Each driver should know how to use an automatic gearbox, regardless of which machine and with what kind of switching (mechanical or automatic) it goes. Situations in life may be different, maybe someone will soon have to change the car, and there is an automatic transmission. It is not necessary to be returned, since the mechanical method is considered more difficult.

Use the automatic transmission is much easier than to manage the manual transmission. Even, provided that the automatic box has much more functions. Consider all possible modes and functions of vehicles with automatic gearbox. And the main and optional modes and functions are:

The above is described all (old and new) functions and modes of automatic transmission, but the automotive industry does not stand still, specialists are trying to invent something new every day. Perhaps automatic transmission will also undergo some changes in the future.

Terms of use

For someone who wants to know how to use the automatic transmission, and correctly exploit the vehicle with such a box, I will tell the basic rules.

The main rule is forbidden to use the slip.The mechanical option does not tolerate various slippers at all. This rule is pretty relevant to drive in the winter time when snow and ice is lying on the roadway. Under such conditions it is necessary to be extremely neat so as not to overload the operation of the box, and the entire system. It is also not recommended to resort to slipping and in warm seasons.
Very often, modern cars with an automatic switching box are equipped with additional features, such as anti-slip. This feature must be turned off in those situations when your car is stuck. Such a maneuver will safely go to a normal surface. Since it is impossible to turn off this system completely, then its performance can be minimized.

It is not recommended to switch to the neutral transmission position, during movement, without any reason. This mode is mainly designed to drive in the "service mode", that is, in this position you can only move with the engine off (when towing). Otherwise, with frequent use of this mode, there may be undesirable consequences in the operation of the automatic transmission.

In addition to these rules, it is also necessary to not forget that the automatic view of the box is a rather complex mechanism that requires timely diagnosis, warranty service and replacement of transmission fluid. It is important to remember that the service must be done clearly on schedule, especially this is true when driving on our roads.

Using in the winter period of time: as a rule, special difficulties in control when the car has a machine box, arise in the winter period. Therefore, this time is considered the most dangerous for drivers. In order not to break under the influence of weather conditions, you need to know what features of the transportation vehicle in the winter.

It should be remembered that in the case of the higher the load, the greater the release of warm air in the hydrotransformer. Therefore, it is necessary to take any measures, provided that you often use a trailer. To ensure normal operation, you need to consider an option with an additional radiator so that the box is additionally cooled. With long-term trailer towing, it is not desirable to apply increased transmission (towing by 2-3 speeds). Before using the trailer, keep in mind that the automatic transmission resource is produced faster when towing, that is, some elements of the system can very soon to come into disrepair.

How to use not worth

There are some requirements and rules that warn drivers from improper exploitation of the vehicle on which the automatic box is installed.

Important to remember:

I wish you success in mastering a new type of vehicle management.
