What are the gears in a manual-automatic transmission?

[Douglas]

Here is a detailed introduction to the gears in a manual-automatic transmission: 1. Manual mode: M stands for manual mode, P stands for parking gear, R stands for reverse gear. 2. Sport mode: N stands for neutral gear, D stands for drive gear, S stands for sport gear. Below is extended information about automatic transmission gears: 1. All gears: The gears in an automatic transmission include P, R, N, D, 2 or S, L or 1. 2. Parking gear: P stands for parking gear, also known as the parking brake. 3. Other gears: R stands for reverse gear, N stands for neutral gear, D stands for drive gear, also known as the driving gear. 4. Sport mode: S or 2 represents sport mode. 5. Low gear: L or 1 stands for low gear, also known as first gear.

I often drive on mountain roads for fun, so I particularly love the manual-automatic transmission gear settings. It has P (Park) for locking the vehicle when parked, R (Reverse) for backing up, N (Neutral) for coasting or towing, D (Drive) for automatic forward movement which is most convenient, S (Sport) mode for quicker acceleration response, and M (Manual) for manually shifting gears up or down. The manual mode allows me to precisely control the engine RPM on winding roads, enhancing the driving pleasure—especially when downshifting uphill or using lower gears downhill to slow down, making the car more stable and protecting the brake pads. This is much more exciting than a pure automatic transmission, but for daily commuting, D mode is just as worry-free and effortless. Additionally, designs vary slightly between different car models, so I recommend beginners practice more in empty spaces and avoid randomly switching gears on highways.
