Automatic transmission (Mercedes-Benz C-Class W202)

The C-class engines are optionally equipped with an automatic transmission. The automatic transmission has three ranges of selective pre-selection of driving speed, which are engaged automatically.

For quick acceleration, for example, when overtaking, the automatic system is equipped with a so-called Kickdown switch, which is activated when the accelerator pedal is fully depressed. This effect ensures that the gearbox either remains in the short-shift mode or returns from a higher to a lower gear.

To evaluate the operation of an automatic transmission and to correctly find faults, experience with automatic transmissions and knowledge of their operating principles are necessary. Since this topic can only be mastered with extensive professional experience, only some of the testing operations are described below.
