What are the gear positions of the Volkswagen Tharu automatic transmission?
2 Answers
Volkswagen Tharu automatic transmission gear positions are as follows: 1. P (Parking gear): When this gear is engaged, the transmission locking mechanism starts working, so it can only be engaged after the vehicle comes to a complete stop. 2. R (Reverse gear): Can only be engaged when the car is stationary. 3. N (Neutral gear): The torque converter is in idle state, and power cannot be transmitted to the planetary gears. Neutral gear is used for short-term parking. 4. D (Drive gear): Used when the vehicle is moving forward. The drive gear is located below the neutral gear. 5. S (Sport gear): The transmission shifts later, and the engine speed increases for better power response. Sport mode can be used when overtaking. 6. Manual mode: When in "D" gear position, push the gear lever to the right, then move the gear shift up to shift up and down to shift down.
When driving the Volkswagen Tharu automatic transmission, the gear design is very user-friendly. The P (Park) gear is for parking or turning off the engine; the R (Reverse) gear is used for reversing; the N (Neutral) gear is for idling, such as during long red lights, to save fuel; the D (Drive) gear is the driving mode, commonly used for daily driving, as it automatically shifts gears, making it effortless and worry-free; the S (Sport) mode delays gear shifts when the accelerator is deeply pressed, providing more aggressive acceleration; there is also a manual mode, where gear shifts can be freely adjusted using the steering wheel paddles, and lower gears can be used to help control speed when descending mountain roads in rural areas. It is recommended for beginners to start with the D gear and try manual shifting for fun after becoming familiar with the car, but be aware that frequent use of the S mode may slightly increase fuel consumption. The Tharu's transmission responds quickly and is suitable for various road conditions, making driving more relaxed.
