How to Use the Gear Positions in Golf?

[HarmonyDella]

Golf automatic transmission has several gear positions including P, R, N, D, S, and M. When parking and turning off the engine, shift to P position. For temporary stops like waiting at a red light without turning off the engine, use N position. D position is for forward driving, and R position is for reversing. M position is the manual mode, while S position is the sport mode. After shifting to M position, the driver can use the gear lever or paddle shifters to manually upshift or downshift the transmission. When in S position, the transmission delays the shift timing and only upshifts when the engine speed reaches the redline zone. Golf is a classic compact car under the Volkswagen brand, equipped with three engine options: a 1.2-liter turbocharged engine, a 1.4-liter turbocharged engine, and a 1.6-liter naturally aspirated engine. The Golf's body dimensions are 4259mm in length, 1799mm in width, and 1452mm in height, with a wheelbase of 2631mm.
