How to Operate the Automatic Transmission of Toyota Corolla?

[StHarley]

Here is a detailed introduction on how to operate the automatic transmission of the Corolla: 1. When starting the engine, the gear lever must be in the P position. Then, press the brake pedal and press the one-touch start button to ignite the engine. Similarly, when turning off the engine, push the gear lever to the P position (it doesn't have to be in P, but it is recommended), then press the brake pedal and press the one-touch start button to turn off the engine. 2. The transmission has five positions: P, R, N, D, and M, which stand for Park, Reverse, Neutral, Drive, and Manual, respectively. The P position is the Park position, and it is recommended to shift the gear lever to P when parking and turning off the engine. The R position is Reverse; note that the car must be completely stopped or moving very slowly before shifting from D or N to R. The N position is Neutral; for example, when parking for a long time without turning off the engine, shifting to N and applying the handbrake is a good idea. The D position is Drive; simply put, shift to D, release the handbrake, and press the accelerator to move the car. Finally, the M position is Manual. When in D, pushing the gear lever further to the left will shift to M. In M, pushing the gear lever up shifts to a higher gear, and pulling it down shifts to a lower gear, which can enhance the driving experience of some automatic models. 3. For Japanese cars, when moving the gear lever, follow the path indicated on the transmission. To select a desired gear, simply pull the gear lever down, and it will move along the path with minimal resistance.
