In freezing weather in the morning, an automatic transmission absolutely must be warmed up! To do this, while the engine is warming up, engage (holding the brake pedal down and without moving) "Drive" for a few minutes, then "Reverse" for a few more minutes. In any case, until the engine has warmed up to its operating temperature, using "kick-down" or otherwise overloading the automatic transmission is strongly discouraged. Don't forget that only careful driving and timely changes of the transmission oil can multiply the service life of an automatic transmission, which is expensive to repair.
