What are the gear positions for the 7th generation Accord automatic transmission?
1 Answers
Here is an introduction to the gear positions of the 7th generation Accord automatic transmission: 1. P (Park) - Parking gear. When engaged, the transmission locking mechanism activates, so it should only be engaged after the vehicle has come to a complete stop. 2. R (Reverse) - Reverse gear, used when backing up the vehicle. 3. N (Neutral) - Neutral gear. When engaged, the engine power is not transmitted to the wheels, typically used for short stops. 4. D (Drive) - Automatic drive gear, used for normal driving. 5. D3 - Special gear for hill climbing. It limits the highest gear to 3rd, preventing the automatic transmission from shifting too high on uphill sections, which could result in a loss of necessary traction. Higher gears may cause the engine to lack acceleration power or even stall. 6. 2 - Forces the vehicle to start in 2nd gear, specifically designed for snowy road conditions.
