What are the gear positions of the 7th generation Elantra?

[DeHope]

The gear positions of the 7th generation Elantra are introduced as follows: P gear: Parking means "parking". It is the parking gear used when the vehicle is parked. When you reach your destination or need to park for a long time, shift the gear lever into this position. Note: The vehicle must be completely stopped before shifting into P gear. Shifting into P gear before the vehicle is completely stopped may cause partial mechanical damage to the automatic transmission. When P gear is engaged, the wheels are mechanically locked, preventing the vehicle from moving forward or backward. Therefore, it is essential to engage P gear when parking on a slope. Additionally, during short stops (such as at traffic lights), it is best not to shift into P gear to avoid severe damage to the entire transmission in case of a rear-end collision. R is the reverse gear, the abbreviation for the full English word "reverse". Whether it's a manual or automatic transmission, R stands for reverse gear. Engaging R gear will make the vehicle move backward. This gear can only be engaged when the vehicle is stationary and the engine is idling. Never use R gear when the vehicle is moving forward, and pay special attention to accelerator control when reversing. N gear: Neutral means "neutral", also known as the neutral gear. At traffic lights, you can shift into this gear and step on the brake. If the waiting time is longer, it is recommended to engage the handbrake directly, allowing your foot to leave the brake pedal for a short rest. Many people mistakenly believe that shifting into N gear while coasting downhill or at high speed can save fuel. This is a serious misconception—not only does it not save fuel, but it can also damage the transmission. S: Sport gear. The difference between D gear and S gear is simply the computer switching to different shifting programs. Therefore, S gear can be switched at any time without causing adverse effects such as damaging the transmission. It is suitable for overtaking but not for high-speed driving. D gear: Drive means "drive" and is the forward gear in a car. Engaging this gear and stepping on the accelerator will make the vehicle move. In this gear, the transmission will automatically shift based on speed and throttle conditions. At traffic lights, you can stay in D gear while stepping on the brake. If the waiting time is short, this is not a problem, but if it is prolonged, it may cause the transmission fluid temperature to rise and the fluid to deteriorate. The 7th generation Elantra is equipped with a 1.5L and a 1.4T engine, paired with a CVT transmission and a 7-speed dry dual-clutch transmission, respectively.
