What are the D and R gears?
1 Answers
D gear is the drive gear, and R gear is the reverse gear. Here is an introduction to car gears: 1. D gear: It means the drive gear. When the gear shift lever is in this position, the hydraulic control system will automatically engage the corresponding forward gear circuit based on the throttle opening signal and vehicle speed signal. It can automatically shift up or down according to driving speed, achieving automatic transmission functionality. 2. P gear: It means the parking gear. When engaged, the parking lock mechanism locks the transmission output shaft. 3. N gear: It means the neutral gear. When engaged, the planetary gear system idles and cannot output power. 4. R gear: It means the reverse gear. When engaged, the hydraulic system reverse gear circuit is activated, causing the drive wheels to rotate in reverse for backward movement. Do not forcibly shift to the "R" gear when the vehicle is not completely stopped, as this may damage the transmission. 5. L gear: L gear is the low drive gear. When going downhill or descending a long slope, shifting to this gear limits the car's gear to only low gear, allowing the engine's power to assist in braking. This prevents the driver from having to press the brakes for extended periods, which could overheat the brake pads and cause danger. It is most effective in severe traffic jams or on steep slopes. Both uphill and downhill, the car's engine torque can be fully utilized.
