Can You Coast in D Gear with an Automatic Transmission?
1 Answers
Automatic transmissions should not coast in D gear. Here are the correct operations for driving an automatic transmission: 1. Normal roads: There are no special requirements for the gear; you can drive normally by keeping it in D gear. 2. Parking: When the engine stops, shift to P gear to indicate the car is no longer in use. Some cars require shifting to P gear to remove the key. 3. Reversing: After pressing the brake and stopping the car's forward movement, shift to R gear. Gently releasing the brake will allow the car to reverse. 4. Waiting or driving in traffic: You can shift to N gear. 5. Highways or overtaking: You can shift to S gear. S gear is the car's sport mode, allowing free gear changes like D gear. It can also be used for climbing hills, as it provides maximum torque output and acceleration.
