Can an automatic transmission car coast in D gear?
1 Answers
An automatic transmission car should not coast in D gear. The following are the correct operations for driving an automatic transmission car: 1. Normal roads: There are no specific requirements for the gear; you can drive normally by keeping it in D gear. 2. Parking: When the engine stops running, you need to shift to P gear, indicating that the car is no longer in use. Some cars require shifting to P gear to remove the key. 3. Reversing: After stepping on the brake and the car stops moving forward, you can shift to R gear. Gently releasing the brake will allow the car to reverse. 4. Waiting while parked: Or when driving on congested roads, you can shift to N gear. 5. Highways: Or when overtaking at high speed, you can shift to S gear. S gear is the car's sport mode, allowing free gear changes like D gear. You can also choose S gear when climbing hills, as this gear provides the maximum torque output and acceleration.
