Engine Brake on Automatic

May some people think, using the automatic car transmission sometimes even making. For example when you want to do engine brake.

In fact, the car engine matik Braking can still be used. Utilization Braking engine that can help save the canvas can be obtained with the brake to move the transmission lever to the position of a lower transmission (downshift).

There are several ways to make a car engine brake matik. After the tread brake pedal and the car speed decreases, slide the transmission lever from position D (DRIVE) to:

1. To position "3", or a function-OFF OVERDRIVE / OD transmission are still in use OVERDRIVE manually (by pressing the button O / D of the transmission lever). Akan transmission down to third gear position, and will not be able to move into fourth gear.

2. Moving again to position "2". Akan transmission down to second gear when the vehicle speed down quickly to below the speed of 90-80 km / hour. This shift makes the effect more powerful engine Braking.

3. Move to position "L". Akan transmission down to first gear when the vehicle speed down quickly to below the speed of 40-30 km / hour. This position in the engine Braking the maximum obtainable.

Do it over a third in a sequence from the most high-gear to the lowest. The principle is similar to the manual transmission, engine Braking obtained with the transmission to shift to a lower. Speed figures mentioned above should be adjusted on each vehicle.

Indeed, the movement is so fast the car feels a bit startled. Braking marks this engine work. Surge is more we can reduce the speed with regard to the car when the transmission shift lever position.

For road conditions in the field on the climb or decline, engine Braking we can get without having to move the transmission lever position as above. To do this is to run with the vehicle's position on the transmission lever position "2". Position to make this transmission can not move from the position of "2" to a higher gear and engine Braking effect at the time we reduce the gas pedal pressure will be greater.

Or can also use the position "L" position when the vehicle is faced with the road or climb steep decline (for example, in the basement of building). At this position, acceleration of the teeth can only move on the position of gear 1 only.

However, the position of "2" or "L" should not be used for a long time. If you already are in the flat road, the transmission immediately move to position "D". This is to prevent the transmission of fluida experienced overheating and damage to the transmission.
