You want to set off in an automatic car (hydraulic converter). What must you know?

In the context of operating an automatic car with a hydraulic converter, it's essential to understand a few key points regarding safe gear selection.

1. Holding the car with service brakes while selecting a gear is crucial. This ensures that the vehicle does not roll or move unexpectedly, which is particularly important in traffic situations where control is needed.

2. The selector lever must only be moved when the engine is stopped is important for safety. Moving the lever while the engine is running could lead to unintended gear changes, which might cause sudden acceleration or loss of control.

3. Raising engine revolutions significantly to prevent stalling is relevant when moving from a stop to a start, especially on inclines. An automatic vehicle relies on the engine's power without the driver needing to manually operate the clutch.

Understanding all these aspects is vital for safe driving and adherence to traffic laws in Germany. Each point corresponds to a safety measure that helps prevent accidents and maintain control over the vehicle.
