Automatic transmission gear shift letters represent the following: 1. P stands for Parking gear, also the starting gear; 2. R stands for Reverse gear; 3. N stands for Neutral gear; 4. D stands for Drive gear, also known as the driving gear; 5. L stands for Low gear; 6. S stands for Sport mode; 7. OD stands for Overdrive gear. An automatic transmission eliminates the need for the driver to manually shift gears, as the vehicle automatically selects the appropriate gear based on driving speed and traffic conditions, with power transmitted through the automatic transmission. Automatic transmissions are categorized into: Hydraulic Automatic Transmission, Hydraulic Drive Automatic Transmission, and Electric Drive Automatic Transmission.

Fasten your seatbelt, then shift the car into reverse gear, release the parking brake lever, and let the car move backward at idle speed. The driver should observe the garage through the right rear window. When the black edge of the right rear window aligns with the right boundary line of the garage, turn the steering wheel steadily to the right until it reaches the limit position.
