In Dutch that word would be "automatisme": a habit so ingrained in your mechanical memory that it doesn't require conscious thought.
Thinking about it, wouldn't the word "habit" cover it in English? It makes me smile to realize that our habits are so ingrained, we don't even realize we have a word for it :)

Habit is close, but with a different application. Habits likewise can be done without thinking but with more of a insinuation that the behavior is a sort of regular repeating part of your life. Like a smoking habit or your morning routine.
