Actions in case of a broken automatic transmission:
1. Stop in a safe place: As soon as you notice a problem with the transmission, immediately stop the vehicle in a safe place.
2. Place the vehicle in Park mode: Place the transmission selector in ‘P’ (Park) mode.
3. Turn off the engine: Stop the engine and remove the key from the ignition.
4. Call a tow truck: Since further driving with a broken automatic transmission is dangerous, call a tow truck to deliver the car to a repair shop.
5. Check the transmission fluid level and condition: If possible, check the transmission fluid level and condition. Low levels or dark colored fluid may indicate a leak or other problem.
Precautions:
* Never try to continue driving with a broken automatic transmission. This may cause further damage and create a dangerous situation.
* Do not tow a car with a broken automatic transmission over long distances. This can lead to severe overheating and complete failure of the gearbox.
* Entrust repairs to a qualified mechanic who has experience working with automatic transmissions.
