ATM in cars refers to the automatic transmission with manual shifting function, which is an automatic transmission equipped with manual gear shifting capability. The gear positions of an automatic transmission with manual mode include: 1. M for manual mode; 2. P for parking gear; 3. R for reverse gear; 4. N for neutral gear; 5. D for drive gear; 6. S for sport gear. Precautions for shifting gears in a car with automatic transmission with manual mode are: 1. Do not press the accelerator pedal when shifting gears; 2. Do not immediately press the accelerator pedal hard after engaging a gear; 3. The vehicle can only be started in P or N gear; 4. The brake must be pressed to remove the gear lever from P gear; 5. Do not shift into N gear while driving to coast; 6. Do not push into P gear while the car is moving; 7. When changing the direction of travel, switching between D and R gears must be done after the vehicle has come to a complete stop; 8. Placing the gear in N while driving prevents the oil pump from supplying oil normally for lubrication, which can cause the internal components of the transmission to overheat and be damaged.

Can an Automatic Transmission Car Start Without Pressing the Brake?

An automatic transmission car can start without pressing the brake. Whether to press the brake or not when starting an automatic transmission car depends entirely on personal habits. However, for safety reasons, it is best to press the brake when starting on a slope where the car is parked. Pressing the brake during startup can prevent sliding caused by operational errors or handbrake failure. Automatic transmissions generally support starting in P (Park) or N (Neutral) gear and can be turned off in any gear (though it is generally recommended to turn off only in P or N gear). The key can only be removed in P gear. For short stops in the car, such as waiting for someone or being stuck in traffic, you can shift to N gear, then turn off the engine and apply the handbrake. For manual transmission models, pressing the brake to start is the default operation method. This is because early manual transmission models could not guarantee that the gear was in neutral and the clutch was fully depressed when starting. To avoid the dangerous situation of the car lurching forward during startup, it is common practice to press the brake when starting. Not pressing the brake when starting will not cause any damage to the car. However, if the gear is not in neutral before starting a manual transmission car, the vehicle may lurch forward upon ignition, potentially hitting something and causing damage.
