Does an Automatic Transmission Have Gears 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5?
1 Answers
An automatic transmission car has six gear positions, which are P, R, N, D, S, and L. Here are the detailed introductions: 1. Gear functions: P is the parking gear and starting gear. When the car is parked and not in use, the gear is in this position, and the wheels are mechanically locked to prevent rolling. R is the reverse gear, used when reversing. N is the neutral gear, used for temporary parking. Note that this gear position indicates neutral, and to prevent the car from rolling on a slope, the brake must be engaged. D is the drive gear, also known as the forward gear, used when moving forward. L is the low gear, used when going downhill or on long downhill slopes. When the gear is in this position, the car's gear is automatically limited to the lowest gear, allowing the car to use engine power for braking when going downhill, so the driver does not need to press the brake for a long time, which could overheat the brake pads and cause danger. 2. S stands for sport mode. When this gear is engaged, the gears can be freely switched, but the shifting timing is delayed, keeping the engine at high speed for a period to increase the car's power. Using this gear when going downhill will increase fuel consumption.
