Is it necessary to press the brake when shifting gears in an automatic transmission?

Shifting from D to S gear does not require pressing the brake. While the car is moving, simply push the gear lever into the "S" position. The same applies when switching back to D gear. The S gear is typically used for climbing hills and quick overtaking. However, it's important to note that in some car models, the S gear is placed as a button next to the gear lever, such as in Nissan series models. Relevant information about automatic transmissions is as follows: 1. Introduction: As the name suggests, an automatic transmission does not require the driver to manually shift gears. The vehicle automatically selects the appropriate gear based on driving speed and traffic conditions. Generally, automatic transmission cars have six gear positions, from top to bottom: P, R, N, D, S, L. 2. Automatic Principle: The engine's power is transmitted through the gearbox, which is also a key factor affecting fuel consumption. Generally, automatic transmissions consume 10% more fuel than manual transmissions. Whether manual or automatic, the more gears there are, the more fuel-efficient the vehicle becomes.
