Can an Automatic Transmission Car Move When the Brake is Released?
1 Answers
An automatic transmission car may not necessarily move when the brake is released, as it depends on the actual situation. Here's the analysis: 1. Different gears have different behaviors: Normally, if the gear is in D (Drive), R (Reverse), or L (Low), the car will move when the brake is released. In other gears, it generally won't move. 2. Situations where the car won't move when the brake is released include: the car being on a very steep slope. Additionally, some cars' transmissions are set up not to start without pressing the accelerator. 3. Additional information: An automatic transmission eliminates the need for the driver to manually shift gears, as the vehicle automatically selects the appropriate gear based on speed and traffic conditions. Common types of automatic transmissions in cars include: hydraulic automatic transmission, hydrostatic transmission, electric transmission, stepped mechanical automatic transmission, and continuously variable transmission (CVT).
