Do You Need to Press the Brake When Shifting Gears in an Automatic Car While Driving?
1 Answers
In an automatic car, you only need to press the brake when shifting into the P (Park) gear. For other gears, normal manual control is sufficient. Below is a detailed introduction to the gears in an automatic transmission car: 1. R (Reverse) Gear: When shifting into this gear, the hydraulic system engages the reverse oil circuit, causing the drive wheels to rotate in reverse for backward movement. Do not forcibly shift into the "R" gear when the vehicle is not completely stopped, as this may damage the transmission. 2. N (Neutral) Gear: When shifting into neutral, the planetary gear system idles, and no power is output. 3. D (Drive) Gear: When the gearshift lever is in this position, the hydraulic control system automatically engages the appropriate forward gear oil circuit based on throttle opening and vehicle speed signals. It can automatically shift up or down according to driving speed, achieving automatic transmission functionality. 4. P (Park) Gear: This gear uses a mechanical device to lock the rotating parts of the car's tires, preventing the vehicle from moving.
