What are the buttons on an automatic transmission car's gear shift?
1 Answers
Automatic transmission cars have the following buttons on the gear shift: 1. Button on the gear lever: Called the shift lock or lock button. This button must be pressed when moving out of P (Park) or shifting into R (Reverse) or P (Park). 2. P (Park) gear: When the gear lever is in this position, the drive wheels are mechanically locked, commonly known as the parking brake. 3. R (Reverse) gear: This gear can only be engaged after the vehicle has come to a complete stop and is used for reversing, such as when parking in reverse or parallel parking. 4. N (Neutral) gear: When the gear lever is in this position, the transmission does not engage any gear, and there is no power output. 5. D (Drive) gear: When the gear lever is in this position, the transmission automatically shifts up and down within the engine's RPM range. 6. S (Sport) gear: This is also a forward gear (sport mode). When the gear lever is in this position, the transmission automatically shifts up and down at higher engine RPMs compared to D (Drive) gear.
