What are the gear positions in a sedan?

[Elizabeth]

Generally, the gear positions on an automatic transmission car are: P (Park), R (Reverse), N (Neutral), D (Drive), D1; 2; 3; M+; -; (Limited gears), L (Low gear), and S (Sport mode). Manual transmissions have first gear, second gear, third gear, fourth gear, and fifth gear. Automatic transmission car gear positions: How to use P gear: When the vehicle needs to be parked for a long time, especially on a slope, switch to P gear. At this time, the wheels are mechanically locked, ensuring the vehicle cannot move while stationary. How to use R gear: When shifting into reverse gear, some vehicles require pressing the safety button on the gear shift to move the gear lever to R. N gear can be used when starting the vehicle or when towing, as well as while waiting at signals, in traffic jams, or for brief stops. When shifting into N gear, always engage the handbrake. On slopes, also apply the foot brake to prevent rolling. How to use D gear: When preparing to start driving, press the brake, shift the gear lever to D, release the handbrake, then release the brake and press the accelerator to move. Continue pressing the accelerator as needed for speed, and the car will automatically shift between gears 1 to 4 based on speed. L gear: Low gear is used on icy roads or in heavy traffic. Shifting to L ensures the vehicle stays in first or second gear, avoiding increased fuel consumption and wear. S gear: In this mode, the transmission can shift freely, but the shift timing is delayed, keeping the engine at high RPM for longer to deliver greater torque and enhance vehicle power. Other gears may perform slightly worse. M gear: This is the manual mode for automatic transmission cars. In M gear, drivers can enjoy the fun of manual shifting. The main operations involve the "+" and "-" symbols near the gear lever; "+" means upshift, and "-" means downshift. Manual transmission car: First gear is the starting gear, used when the car begins moving from a stop. Once the car starts moving, shift to second gear. Second gear is the driving gear for low-speed driving, suitable for very slow speeds, not high-speed driving. Third gear is the acceleration gear, allowing the driver to press the accelerator to increase speed to a certain level. Fourth gear is for medium-high-speed driving, typically used in urban areas (excluding elevated roads), with speeds usually around 60-70 km/h. Fifth gear is the high-speed gear, used mainly on elevated roads or highways, generally at speeds of 80 km/h or above. R gear is the reverse gear, used when backing up.
