What are the P, R, N, and DS gears on a car?
1 Answers
P stands for Parking gear: When the car is parked and not in use, the gear is in this position, where the wheels are mechanically locked to prevent rolling. R stands for Reverse gear: The car can only be shifted into R gear when it is completely stopped and the brake pedal is pressed. N stands for Neutral gear: N gear is used for temporary stops, such as at a red light. Note that this gear indicates neutral, and to prevent the car from rolling on a slope, the brake must be pressed. D stands for Drive gear: When shifted into this gear for driving, the driver's task is to control the throttle and brake—press the throttle to accelerate and the brake to decelerate. S stands for Sport mode: In S Sport mode, the transmission can shift freely, but the shift timing is delayed, keeping the engine at higher RPMs for longer to increase the vehicle's power.
