What does ATM mean in cars?
1 Answers
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.
