Introduction to Kia Automatic Transmission Gear Positions?
1 Answers
Here is a detailed introduction to the gear positions of Kia automatic transmission vehicles: P gear: P stands for Park, which is the gear position used when the vehicle is parked for an extended period. It utilizes a mechanical device inside the transmission to lock the rotating parts of the car, preventing movement. R gear: R stands for Reverse, the gear position used when the vehicle needs to move backward. When the gear lever is in R position, the hydraulic system activates the reverse gear circuit, causing the drive wheels to rotate in reverse for backward movement. N gear: N stands for Neutral, the gear position used when the vehicle is temporarily parked without turning off the engine. D gear: D stands for Drive, the forward gear position. When the gear lever is in D position, the vehicle automatically shifts gears based on throttle opening and speed data. S gear: S stands for Sport mode. M gear: M refers to the manual mode in a semi-automatic transmission or the simulated manual mode in a CVT transmission.
