How to Use an Automatic Transmission Car?

[Robert]

How to use an automatic transmission car: To start the engine of an automatic transmission car, you need to press the brake pedal. After starting the engine, you need to press the brake pedal again to shift from P (Park) to R (Reverse) or D (Drive), allowing the car to move forward or backward. Shifting from D or R to N (Neutral) does not require pressing the brake pedal, but shifting from N to R or D does require pressing the brake pedal. Shifting from D to S (Sport) or L (Low) also does not require pressing the brake pedal. An automatic transmission typically refers to the car's automatic gear-shifting mechanism, where the control system of the automatic transmission selects the appropriate gear based on the engine's speed and load during driving, replacing the driver's subjective judgment of timing and gear-shifting operations. A typical automatic transmission car has six gear positions, arranged from top to bottom as: P, R, N, D, S, L.
