Haval Chitu automatic transmission gear functions introduction: 1. D (Drive) Gear: This is the most frequently used gear. The D gear represents the forward driving gear, used for normal driving. Simply place the gear selector in the D position, and the car will automatically adjust gears while driving. During long downhill descents, because the D gear in automatic transmission cars does not have the engine braking function, it is not advisable to keep it in D gear, otherwise the speed will increase, leading to potential safety hazards. 2. P (Park) Gear: Used when parking. P means to move the gear selector to the P position when parking, locking the transmission's parking brake device to the output shaft. Tighten the hand brake, and the car will not move. 3. N (Neutral) Gear: This gear is rarely used, mainly during traffic light stops. N represents neutral, used when starting the car or towing. If waiting at a traffic light for a long time, it's best to shift into N gear and tighten the handbrake. However, coasting in N gear downhill is prohibited as it not only doesn't save fuel but also damages the transmission. 4. R (Reverse) Gear: R gear is the reverse gear, used when reversing. Do not shift into reverse gear before the car has completely stopped, otherwise, the transmission will wear out quickly. The car is equipped with a reverse camera, which will display on the central screen when R gear is engaged. 5. L (Low) Gear: Equivalent to 2nd gear, often used when going up or down hills. For example, when climbing a hill and the power is insufficient, shifting into L gear makes hill starts easier. In fact, shifting into L gear limits the car's automatic gear shifting to the lowest gear only. 6. S (Sport) Mode: Some models are equipped with an S gear. When the car is in S gear, it allows free gear shifting, but the shifting will be delayed. Therefore, the engine will maintain high RPM for a longer time, increasing fuel consumption, but also providing greater torque output, usually used when overtaking.
