How to Maintain a Steady Speed with an Automatic Transmission?

[McGiselle]

To maintain a steady speed with an automatic transmission, you only need to control the accelerator pedal and brake pedal properly. Below is a detailed introduction to automatic transmissions: 1. With an automatic transmission, the driver does not need to shift gears manually. The vehicle will automatically select the appropriate gear based on the driving speed and traffic conditions. 2. Automatic transmissions use a planetary gear mechanism to shift gears automatically according to the degree of accelerator pedal pressure and changes in vehicle speed. 3. Typically, automatic transmission vehicles have five gear positions: P, R, N, D, and S. P stands for Park, R for Reverse, N for Neutral, D for Drive, and S for Sport mode. 4. The P position should be engaged when the vehicle is parked. It is important to note that the vehicle must come to a complete stop before shifting into P. R is the reverse gear, N is neutral, D is the drive gear, which is the most frequently used gear, and S is the Sport mode, which enhances the vehicle's power performance when engaged.
