Should an automatic transmission be started in P gear or N gear?
1 Answers
An automatic transmission should be started in P gear. Automatic transmissions do not require the driver to manually shift gears; the vehicle automatically selects the appropriate gear based on driving speed and traffic conditions. The method to start an automatic transmission car is: 1. Turn the ignition key to the second position (power mode), allowing the car's computer system to begin self-check; 2. Press the foot brake and shift the gear to P; 3. Release the foot brake and start the ignition. The gears of an automatic transmission include: 1. P gear (Parking gear); 2. R gear (Reverse gear); 3. N gear (Neutral gear); 4. D gear (Drive gear); 5. L gear (Low gear); 6. S gear (Sport mode).
