For the first time, the word "tiptronic" appeared in 1990. Then the cargogen Porsche began to equip its cars of a four-stage gearbox on mechanics, but with the admissibility of electronic control. Using a similar device, the driver has become much more convenient to manage the MCPP. In addition, while the car owner may not even have the ability and experience of driving a car on mechanics. About this further in the article.

Tittronic that this and why

Tittronic - "Intellectual" Automatic Box, within which gear shift is allowed automatically or manually. Tittronic is distinguished by the presence of five gears that switched very smoothly, without jumps and jerks. If you enable automatic control, the checkpoint will work on the principle of an ordinary machine with an additional DSP system.

To translate gearbox to manual control mode, the control lever should be shifted into a specific area with the "+" and "-" designations. To increase either reduce the transfer, you need to translate the lever from "+" to "-". This system allows you to switch the transfers comfortably and convenient, without losing the traction and without using the clutch. In some cases, the buttons with the marks "+" and "-" can be located on the steering wheel so that the driver is much more convenient to switch transmissions.

For a decade, a special sports program has been included in the Tittronic system, which allows you to significantly increase the thrust and more efficiently assess the power of the car, and the speed of rotations, and it will be higher. It is worth noting that the tiptronic is not a kind of semi-automatic gearbox. Tittronic is one of the functions of the automatic transmission, and not a separate variety.

Distinctive features of Tittronic:

1. The classic automatic transmission is easy to use when driving along an asphalt road - just start the engine and go. And if in front is a slippery surface or cool elevation, the machine simply does not pull similar loads. Tittronic in this case is salvation, because it combines and the machine and the mechanics.
   
2. If you need to overtake the car, the hybrid checkpoint will cope with it easily. Initially, the mechanics was used for such purposes, since it was impossible to quickly gain momentum on the machine. The tiptronic has a special option kick-down, providing a sharp jumps of engine speed.
   
3. Tittronic allows you to dramatically slow down the engine, which you will not do on an automatic box.
   
4. When starting on slippery ice, the wheel slip is excluded, since the movement can be started on the second transmission.
   
5. With a tiptronic, off-road movement will be quite simple, as the car can be easily switched to the mechanical mode. Thus, maneuvers for leakage yam and irregularities will be easily fulfilled.
   
6. In contrast to the manual transmission, the tiptronic protects the engine from the wrong speed. If the driver is implacably switching speed, the motor and gearbox will not be affected.
   
7. In a situation with fuel consumption, the Tittronic is balancing in the middle. It is more economical in comparison with the automatic transmission, however, compared with the manual box, the opposite situation.
   
8. If you do not use the mechanics, this program will independently translate the car into automatic mode, in other words, after stopping on the traffic light, you do not need to run the motor manually, the program will start everything.
   
9. The car will be more responsive to acceleration.

Tittronic, work principle

Tittronic has a selector lever, with which you can implement this function. For the lever they make special cuts with the notation "+" and "-", although some models of cars have stealless switches that are called "petals".

The operation of the "automat" with the type of the Titonik is controlled by special software in the ECU. For its work, this function uses selector switches and steering wheels of the PPC. Depending on the design of the box, the selector can have several switches.

The assignment of these switches is different - with one, it is possible to switch to the lowest gear, the second controls the switch to the highest, and the third is responsible for activating the mode. When the driver makes manipulation with these switches, from them to the start point of the program algorithm comes the set of signals to the ECU. In the control unit, a signal occurs that running the transmission switching process.

The control system allows the use of "petals". You can do this by pressing the special button on the "petals" data located under the steering column. After that, the PPC goes to manual control, but the selector lever does not switch. When the need for manual control disappears, the PPC goes back to the "automaton" mode. This happens after a while, which is counting from the moment the functioning of the "petals" is stopped.

There is also a Multitronic system that is a quotonic variator. Within this system, fixed gear ratios are used, which are programmed in the variator itself.

Tittronic, dignity

1. Fuel economy.
2. Invalidness of ill-conceived gear shift.
3. Large susceptibility to road off-road, in comparison with ordinary automatic transmission.
4. Titonik makes it possible to stop the motor sharply.
   
5. In winter, with the help of a tyritronics, the car is rolled from the second transmission, as a result of which the wheel slip is excluded.
6. When overtaking, the Tittronic does not allow reducing revolutions when the next transmission is turned on.
7. In critical situations, the driver can independently control the transport.
   

Tittronic, shortcomings

The disadvantages of this system are a bit. The checkpoint with this mode is automatic, as a result of which all the capabilities of the manual transmission are not available. However, with the help of additional levers, such a mechanism will produce a stronger impact. As for the rest of the aspects, this automation does not lose classical automatic transmission.

Put the choice between gearbox with a tiptronic and ordinary automatic transmission is really worth it. It is necessary to take into account the experience of using the car, the Manera of his ride, the desire to save fuel and frequency of road off-road. For example, if you moderately drive, without maneuvers and sharp movements, it makes no sense to spend money on the tiptronic, as he will not be able to justify himself.

Tips Profi, how to extend the operation of the automatic transmission tiptronic

To prolong the operation of the PPC with the tiptronic, you should serve it in a timely manner. Use only high-quality oil and systematically produce its replacement.

For drivers, preferring mechanics, you should install a tiptronic as an automatic version. The possibility of using a manual mode, self-controlling motor turnover when braking and acceleration - all this is the advantages of the checkpoint, which will enjoy any driver.
