Is C2 an automatic transmission license?
2 Answers
C2 driver's license is for automatic transmission vehicles and is one of the more common licenses. It only permits driving automatic transmission cars with fewer than 9 seats and a length not exceeding 6 meters. The license code is C2. The application age range is 18-70 years. The permitted vehicle type is small automatic transmission cars. Below are detailed introductions to specific car gear positions: 1. P (Park) gear: When the gear shift lever is in the P position, the transmission is in neutral, but the output shaft is mechanically locked. At this time, the car will stop in place even without stepping on the brake. It is generally used for long-term parking. When engaging P gear, the car must be completely stationary. Do not engage P gear when the car is not fully stopped, and always apply the handbrake. When parking on a slope, first apply the handbrake before engaging P gear. 2. R (Reverse) gear: When the gear lever is in the R position, the rotation direction of the transmission output shaft is opposite to that of the engine, allowing the car to move backward. When engaging R gear, the car must be completely stationary. Do not engage R gear when the car is not fully stopped. 3. N (Neutral) gear: When the gear lever is in the N position, the gears inside the transmission are idling, and the clutch is not engaged. The load on the transmission is minimal at this time. N gear is generally used for short-term parking. Additionally, when towing a car, the transmission should be placed in N gear. 4. D (Drive) gear: When the gear lever is in the D position, the gears inside the transmission automatically switch between the lowest and highest gears based on factors such as vehicle speed and throttle opening, according to the preset shifting pattern. In the vast majority of cases, D gear can be used for driving.
I drove a Citroën C2 for several years, mine was a 2007 model equipped with a manual transmission, but I know there are quite a few automatic versions available in the market. Citroën offered both manual and automatic options for the C2, with the automatic transmission mainly being a four-speed model, which was quite convenient for stop-and-go city driving, eliminating the need for frequent gear changes. In terms of fuel consumption, the automatic version was slightly higher, averaging around 8 liters. If you're considering buying a used one, it's best to check the specific model details, as configurations vary by year, and some dealerships only sell manual versions. The C2's overall design is quite practical, with its compact size making it easy to park, but the automatic transmission can develop minor issues if not properly maintained. In conclusion, the C2 does indeed offer an automatic option, so it's a good idea to take a test drive to get a feel for it before making a decision.
