Introduction to the Gear Positions of Haval Big Dog Automatic Transmission

[PeytonMarie]

Haval Big Dog automatic transmission gear functions introduction: 1. D (Drive) Gear: This is the most commonly used gear. The D gear stands for the forward driving gear, used for normal driving. Simply place the gear selector in the D position, and the car will automatically adjust the gears while driving. During downhill driving, since the D gear of an automatic transmission does not have the engine braking function, it is not advisable to keep it in D gear, otherwise the speed will increase, leading to potential safety hazards. 2. P (Park) Gear: This gear is used when parking. P means to shift the gear selector to the P position when parking, locking the transmission's parking brake device to the output shaft. Tighten the hand brake, and the car will not move. 3. N (Neutral) Gear: This gear is rarely used and is employed when waiting at traffic lights. N stands for neutral, used when starting the car or towing. If the traffic light wait time is too long, it is best to shift the car into N gear and tighten the hand brake. However, coasting in N gear (neutral) downhill is prohibited, as it not only does not save fuel but also damages the transmission. 4. R (Reverse) Gear: The R gear is the reverse gear, used when reversing the car. Do not shift into reverse gear before the car comes to a complete stop, otherwise the transmission will wear out quickly. The car is equipped with a reverse camera; when shifted into R gear, the image will appear on the central control screen. 5. L (Low) Gear: Equivalent to the 2nd gear, often used when going up or down hills. For example, if the power is insufficient when starting uphill, shifting into L gear makes uphill starts easier. In fact, shifting into L gear limits the car's automatic gear shifting to the lowest gear only. 6. S (Sport) Mode: Some models are equipped with an S gear. When the car is in S gear, it can shift gears freely, but there will be a delay in shifting. Therefore, the engine will maintain high revs for a longer time, increasing fuel consumption, but it will also provide greater torque output, usually used when overtaking.
