How to drive a car will not be much different from a manual car, the only difference is in the absence of clutch, and we do not have to move the gear because it will move automatically. The emergence of automatic transmission cars is a blessing for those who live in big cities with high levels of traffic, such as Jakarta, Bandung and Surabaya. Not only limited to jammed streets, matic cars are also present to pamper the legs and minds of the drivers of some concepts in driving a manual car, such as: stepping on the clutch, half clutch, aligning the clutch with gas, and so on.

In automatic transmission levers, there are usually:
- P = Park, the position where the transmission is locked so that the car can not move forward or backward. At the time of parking it is still advisable to pull the handbrake. (wheel locked, can not be pushed)
- R = Reverse, reverse gear position (used for backwards).
- N = Neutral / No Gear, the transmission is not related to the wheel, so the car can move forward or backward (wheel is not locked, can be pushed) Besides the position of P in this position (N) the car can also start.
- D = Drive, position to run the car. Automatically the machine will choose the most appropriate gear position in accordance with the conditions and the slope (incline) of the road, generally consisting of gears 1, 2, 3, and 4. (in this drive lever the car stays on the road although not in step on the gas he has gone, it is advisable before moving the lever to D stepping on the brakes first)
- O / D = Over Drive, default position is off (no O / D). O / D serves to prevent the machine from using maximum gear. For example, the AT tranmission is 1 to 4 then O / D prevents the machine from using gear 4, maximum gear 3.Tujuannya to limit the maximum speed (kira2 - 70 - 90km / jam).
- D2 or S = Second, such as O / D with maximum transmission position in gear 2.
- D1, or F = First, such as O / D with maximum transmission positions in gear 1. Position 1 or 2 is useful for example to attract very heavy loads or when the road is dropping sharply, then the transmission will help the brakes to prevent the car glide.
- 1 / L = for steeply inclined roads
Driving a matic or Automatic speed transmission, the rotation speed function is adjusted automatically with engine rotation or down the road with low engine speed, because of the driving force of the vehicle weight.
