Driving a car with automatic transmission (AT) provides comfort, but in some situations it is recommended to use manual mode. For example, when driving on difficult road conditions such as sand, snow or mountain roads, especially on long descents. The electronic control of the automatic transmission can change gears erratically, which is not always suitable for certain conditions.
Manual mode allows you to avoid unnecessary movements, keeping the engine in the optimal speed range. When descending, using low gears helps reduce the load on the brakes through engine braking.
If you need to accelerate quickly, for example, to overtake or when entering a main road, it is advisable to switch to manual control, as the automatic can delay the response to pressing it the gas pedal.
On long climbs, the automatic mode can lead to frequent gear changes in attempts to find the best mode, which increases the load on the automatic transmission. In manual mode, this can be disabled, allowing the box to work more smoothly and efficiently.
In traffic jams, the automatic transmission can work erratically, often shifting to high gears, which causes unnecessary wear and overheating. Setting first gear in manual mode will avoid unnecessary shifts and extend the life of the automatic transmission.
