Is R the Forward or Reverse Gear?

[StStephanie]

R is the reverse gear in an automatic transmission. R gear = Reverse, indicating that the vehicle is in reverse at this time. Related explanations are as follows: 1. When the control lever is placed in this position, the hydraulic system's reverse gear circuit is engaged, causing the drive wheels to rotate in reverse, enabling reverse driving. Typically, the safety button on the lever must be pressed before the lever can be moved to the "R" gear. 2. For vehicles equipped with an automatic transmission, the gear selector should not be shifted from the "D" position to the "R" position until the vehicle has come to a complete stop. Only after confirming that the vehicle has fully stopped should the above operation be performed. Otherwise, it may cause damage to the internal clutches and brakes of the automatic transmission. Similarly, the gear selector should not be shifted from the "R" position to the "D" position while the vehicle is still moving.
