Is it serious to accidentally shift into R gear while driving?
1 Answers
For automatic transmission vehicles, accidentally shifting into R gear while driving will not cause serious situations. Automatic transmissions generally adopt intelligent designs, so even if the driver mistakenly shifts into reverse gear during operation, it will not result in gear grinding or damage to the automatic transmission. More extended information is as follows: 1. Overview: The gear positions of an automatic transmission in a car. Generally speaking, the gear positions of an automatic transmission are divided into P, R, N, D, 2, 1, or L, etc. The P gear is used for parking, utilizing a mechanical device to lock the rotating parts of the car, making the car unable to move. 2. Others: The R gear is the reverse gear, used for reversing the vehicle. The N gear is the neutral gear; when the lever is placed in the "N" gear, the power between the engine and the transmission will be cut off and separated. The D gear is the drive gear, used for driving on general roads. The 2 gear is also a drive gear, but the transmission can only switch between 1st and 2nd gears.
