Driving with an Automatic Driving Lessons for beginners

The number of motorists who prefer cars with an Automatic Driving Lessons is growing every
year. Driving a car like this is much easier. However, you should not transgress into driving
a car on the machine without knowing the basic nuances and features. 

After all, improper operation of the "machine" can not only lead to breakdowns of an
expensive automatic transmission, but also provoke an emergency situation on the
road. Incorrect operation of the mechanical boxcar lead, in the worst case scenario, to the
replacement of the clutch, but mistakes in operating the “automatic” can cost a pretty penny,
because the whole mechanism will have to be changed, and this is not a cheap pleasure.

In this regard, if you still do not have experience in driving a car with automatic
transmission, then you should resort to outside help and take Automatic Driving Lessons
Redditch on a car with an automatic transmission or watch video tutorials on the Internet or
read how to use an automatic transmission and about the basic nuances of driving a car
with a similar box gear.

Preparing to drive a car with automatic transmission

Before driving a car with automatic transmission, you should:

 choose a comfortable sitting position using special adjusting knobs;


 check the rear-view mirror, the view of which should include the rear window and the
road;
 check the view in the side mirrors;
 Start the engine with the automatic transmission lever in the P - parking position.

To start the engine, turn the ignition key clockwise 180 degrees. At this moment, the lights
on the dashboard come on. After 3-5 seconds, the ignition key is turned all the way,
allowing the engine to start.

Acceleration in cars with Automatic Driving Lessons

The gas pedal in cars with automatic transmission is located on the right and should be
pressed with the right foot. The left leg does not work at all, sitting on a special platform in
order to prevent the simultaneous pressing of two pedals.

By pressing the gas pedal, the car enthusiast increases the engine speed and allows the
car to pick up speed. It should be pressed evenly and without sudden jerks, since in cars
with automatic transmission it reacts sensitively to the slightest movement of the foot. 

With the help of the pedal, the car enthusiast actually controls the engine power, therefore,
while climbing the mountain, you need to press on it harder, and during the descent from
the mountain, you can completely release it. You can simply slow down the speed by
releasing the accelerator pedal and not using braking.

Braking in vehicles with automatic transmission

The brake pedal in all vehicles equipped with automatic transmission is located on the left,
although it should be pressed with the right foot. Pressing the pedal results in:

 to a gradual deceleration of the vehicle;


 to a complete stop of the vehicle.

Does a car with an Automatic Driving Lessons need a hand brake?

All cars are equipped with a parking brake. Only the mechanisms of its implementation
differ: mechanical, electromechanical or completely electronic. 

However, despite this, the overwhelming majority of owners of cars with Automatic Driving
neglect its use, citing the fact that it is enough to put the car in the “parking lot”, and with a
short stop, a working brake is sufficient. But, unfortunately, this approach is not correct. 
Since even the manufacturer's instructions prescribe the constant use of the handbrake
during long-term parking. Most likely, this precaution is caused by the banal reinsurance
of car companies, which, frankly speaking, can hardly be called superfluous. 
Moreover, there are many situations in which it is impossible to do without a "handbrake":

Now, for sure, there are very few opponents of the assertion that automatic gearboxes are
rapidly replacing manual gearboxes from the market. By the way, do you know what the
difference is between? 

But, despite the fact that the overwhelming majority of drivers choose a car with an
automatic transmission, only a small part of them use the automatic transmission correctly,
which can lead to a significant decrease in efficiency or, much worse, to a breakdown of the
unit.

It is very simple and convenient to use the automatic transmission that you will learn in
Automatic Driving Lessons Coventry

And, in addition to the basic knowledge that the Automatic Driving Lessons automatically
selects the gear ratio that is most suitable for the driving conditions, and thereby endows
the ride with convenience, each driver must know the basic principles of the correct use
of such a unit, so as not to shorten its service life.

Features when driving with automatic transmission


First, it should be clearly remembered that no automatic transmission "likes" to work cold,
especially with increased load. For this reason, even at warm ambient temperatures, the
first few kilometers after a long parking should be driven at low speed and without vigorous
acceleration in order to warm up the oil in the transmission. It is also important that the
gearbox takes a little longer to reach operating temperature than the engine. 

For the fastest warming up of the automatic transmission in cold weather, you can stand still
several times to change the operating modes, stand with the activated mode D (holding the
brake), or at the beginning of the movement for a short time activate the winter mode.

The second point is to stick to roads with good coverage. Since modern gearboxes, even
mechanical ones, do not differ in their love of off-road. 

An exception is special vehicles adapted to such conditions. Also, automatic transmissions


do not respond well to towing heavy trailers or other vehicles. In such situations, they are
susceptible to rapid overheating, which greatly accelerates wear. 

In addition, avoid towing the "automatic" car itself. Some exceptions may be reflected in the
instructions for the car, but they are few when they go beyond the limits of a distance of 50
km and a travel speed of more than 50 km / h.
