Is D Gear the Forward Gear?
1 Answers
D gear is the forward gear. When the gear lever of an automatic transmission vehicle is placed in D gear, the vehicle will automatically shift gears based on throttle opening and speed data. Precautions for shifting gears in an automatic transmission vehicle are: 1. Start the vehicle in P or N gear, remove the gear lever from P gear while stepping on the brake, turn on the power, step on the brake, shift to N gear, and after ignition, shift to D gear to move forward; 2. Do not shift to N gear for coasting while driving; 3. When switching between N, D, and L gears, there is no need to press the shift button. Shift from L gear to lower restricted gears by pressing the shift button, and shift from lower to higher gears without pressing the shift button; 4. After driving, turn off the engine and shift to P gear before removing the key.
