What does the W in automatic transmission mean?

[Zachary]

Automatic transmission W refers to the snow mode. W can be used for starting on slippery surfaces, with wheel torque equivalent to second gear, preventing skidding on wet or icy roads. Automatic transmission eliminates the need for drivers to manually shift gears, as the vehicle automatically selects the appropriate gear based on driving speed and traffic conditions. The method for shifting gears in an automatic transmission is: 1. Press the clutch pedal all the way down to completely disengage the clutch; 2. Shift the gear to first gear. The parking steps for an automatic transmission are: 1. Press the foot brake to stop the car; 2. Shift the gear from D to N; 3. Engage the handbrake and turn off the engine; 4. Release the foot brake without turning off the power; 5. Press the foot brake again and shift the gear from N to P; 6. Release the foot brake and turn the key back; 7. Turn off the power and remove the key.
