How to Operate an Automatic Transmission Car When Waiting at a Red Light?
1 Answers
When waiting at a red light in an automatic transmission car, the operation methods are: 1. For short red light durations, keep the car in drive (D) gear while holding the brake; 2. For long red light durations, shift to neutral (N) and engage the handbrake. Automatic transmission cars do not require the driver to manually shift gears, as the vehicle automatically selects the appropriate gear based on driving speed and traffic conditions. The gears in an automatic transmission are: 1. P stands for Parking/Start gear; 2. R stands for Reverse gear; 3. N stands for Neutral gear; 4. D stands for Drive gear, also known as the driving gear; 5. L stands for Low gear; 6. S stands for Sport mode; 7. OD stands for Overdrive gear.
