How to use the '+' and '-' next to the D gear?
1 Answers
This is the manual mode of the transmission. When the gear lever is in the D position, pushing it toward the '+' side means upshifting by one gear, while pushing it toward the '-' side means downshifting by one gear. Below are the operations for other gears: 1. P: This is the parking gear, not just for stopping. It is suitable for long-term parking and should be used in conjunction with the handbrake. 2. R: This gear is for reversing and can be used when backing the car into a garage. 3. N: This is the neutral gear. Remember, do not coast in N gear. N gear can be used for short-distance towing or when waiting at a long traffic light, though P gear can also be used for waiting. 4. D: This is the drive gear, functioning the same as the drive gear in an automatic transmission. 5. S: Sport mode, which delays upshifting, usually requiring at least 2500 RPM before shifting, and limits the transmission to only 5 gears (6th gear is not available in S mode).
