How to Control Speed in an Automatic Transmission Car?
1 Answers
Automatic transmission controls speed by: simply managing the throttle to regulate velocity. For smooth driving, gently lift the throttle pedal at appropriate moments—this prompts the transmission to upshift automatically, maintaining lower engine RPM at identical speeds. Subsequent light throttle application continues acceleration without immediate downshifting, a design feature preventing frequent gear changes through early upshifts and delayed downshifts. Depressing the accelerator gradually increases speed; releasing it while applying brakes enables emergency deceleration; progressive throttle reduction achieves gradual slowing.
