The following is an introduction to the gear positions of the Honda Vezel automatic transmission: 1. P (Park): When this gear is engaged, the transmission locking mechanism activates, so it should only be engaged after the vehicle has come to a complete stop. 2. R (Reverse): This gear is used for reversing the vehicle. It can only be engaged after coming to a complete stop by pressing the brake and cannot be engaged while driving. 3. N (Neutral): Generally used for short-term parking, with the engine in an idle state. 4. D (Drive): One of the most commonly used forward gears, where the transmission shifts automatically. 5. S (Sport): The transmission delays shifting, keeping the engine at higher RPMs for better power response. Sport mode can be used when overtaking. 6. L (Low): Low gear is one of the forward gears, suitable for long or steep downhill slopes, but care should be taken not to let the engine RPM get too high.

I've been driving for many years and am particularly fascinated by the gear positions of automatic transmissions. The gear design of the Honda Vezel is quite intuitive, typically including P (Parking gear, used to lock the wheels, suitable for parking), R (Reverse gear, just a gentle push when reversing), N (Neutral gear, used for brief stops or towing, but never use it while driving as it can damage the transmission), D (Drive gear, relied on for daily driving, fuel-efficient and stable), S (Sport gear, used in mountainous areas or when wanting to accelerate, the engine becomes more powerful with a strong push-back feeling), and L (Low gear, used for climbing steep slopes or descending long slopes to prevent the car from losing control). Don’t forget to change the automatic transmission fluid during regular maintenance, checking it every 50,000 kilometers to extend its lifespan. When driving the Vezel, I often switch between D and S, such as using D for traffic jams for ease and switching to S for highway overtaking for a thrill—it’s quite convenient and durable.

As an average car owner, I drive a Honda Vezel with an automatic transmission, which is simple and easy to operate. Normally, after starting the car, I just press the brake and shift to D to drive, and shift to P when stopping at traffic lights. For reversing into parking spaces, remember to use R gear along with the rearview mirror to adjust slowly. I only use S gear occasionally when climbing hills or hauling goods—it provides strong power but isn't fuel-efficient. L gear is rarely used unless preventing rollback on steep slopes. Never play with N gear while driving—my neighbor tried it once and nearly blew the transmission. For safety, make it a habit to always check that the gear is in P before turning off the engine. After three years of driving, no major issues—only had to replace a light once.

Automatic transmission gears are like the keys to a car. The Honda Vezel comes standard with P (Park) for locking, R (Reverse) for backing up, N (Neutral) for temporary use, D (Drive) for daily driving, S (Sport) for enhanced power, and L (Low) for controlling low speeds. Use P to park securely and prevent rolling, R to reverse while watching for obstacles, N temporarily when towing or washing the car, D for fuel-efficient and efficient daily driving, S to boost acceleration performance suitable for mountain roads, and L to limit speed and prevent skidding on downhill slopes. After prolonged use, check the transmission fluid quality; replace it if the color darkens.
