Reverse gear is R, where R is the abbreviation of the English word 'reverse,' meaning backward, which represents the action of reversing. Therefore, R is universally used to denote the reverse gear in any type of transmission. When using the R gear, it is important to ensure that the car has come to a complete stop before shifting into R. Otherwise, it may cause damage to the transmission. For manual transmissions, shifting into R without stopping completely can lead to gear grinding, which produces unusual noises. In automatic transmissions, P stands for parking gear, N for neutral, and D for drive gear. Some vehicles also have S, L, and M gears, representing sport mode, low gear, and manual mode, respectively.
