Automatic transmission

Programs of work

The automatic transmission control system provides for various transmission programs. Depending on the actions of the driver or on the driving conditions of the car, either an economical program, i.e. aimed at saving fuel, or an active program, which can be called rather conditionally "sports".

The choice of the transmission program is carried out automatically depending on the nature of the driver's work with the accelerator pedal.

When the accelerator pedal is slow or normal, upshifting early and downshifting late can save fuel.

So-called "sports" the transmission program is selected when the accelerator pedal is operated sharply enough. At the same time, you should not press the accelerator pedal so vigorously so as not to unnecessarily cross the pressure threshold on the accelerator pedal, after which the forced advance shifting to a lower gear provided for in the gearbox control system occurs. When choosing "sports" mode, engine power reserves are fully utilized due to some delay in shifting to a higher gear.

Depending on the driving resistance, e.g. when towing a trailer or driving uphill, a program is automatically selected in order to provide more traction on the drive wheels by downshifting and thus avoid constant gear changes.

Selector lock

Selector in positions "R" And "N" locked when the ignition is on. To remove the selector from these positions, press the brake pedal and press the button in the selector handle. Thanks to this, there is no situation when, due to negligence, one of the gears can be turned on, and the car will move completely uncontrollably.

The design of the automatic transmission provides a delay device so that when moving from one position to another through the position "N" (for example, from "R" To "D") the selector was not blocked. Due to this, swinging is possible" stuck car. Only when the selector with the brake pedal not pressed is more than one second in the position "N", the selector is blocked.

At speeds above 5 km/h selector lock in position "N" turns off automatically.
