Does starting the car in D gear cause damage?
1 Answers
Starting the car in D gear can cause damage. Here is a detailed introduction to the specific functions of car gears: 1. P gear is the parking gear: When the gear lever is in the P position, the transmission is in neutral, and the output shaft is mechanically locked. At this time, the car will stop even without pressing the brake, and it is generally used for long-term parking. When engaging P gear, the car must be completely stationary. Do not engage P gear if the car has not come to a complete stop, and always apply the handbrake. When parking on a slope, first apply the handbrake before engaging P gear. 2. R gear is the reverse gear: When the gear lever is in the R position, the rotation direction of the transmission output shaft is opposite to that of the engine, allowing the car to move backward. When engaging R gear, the car must be completely stationary. Do not engage R gear if the car has not come to a complete stop. 3. N gear is the neutral gear: When the gear lever is in the N position, the gears inside the transmission are idling, and the clutch is not engaged, resulting in minimal load on the transmission. N gear is generally used for short stops, such as waiting at a traffic light, or when the car is being towed. 4. D gear is the driving gear: When the gear lever is in the D position, the gears inside the transmission automatically shift between the lowest and highest gears based on factors such as vehicle speed and throttle opening, according to the preset shifting pattern. In most cases, D gear can be used for driving.
