What do the English letters R, P, D on the car gear shift mean?
1 Answers
The English letters on the car gear shift represent: R stands for Rear (reverse gear), P stands for Park (parking gear), and D stands for Drive (driving gear). The functions of R, P, and D gears are respectively: 1. The R gear is used when reversing the vehicle. When shifting into reverse, it's important to stabilize the speed first and avoid suddenly shifting into reverse while accelerating forward. 2. The P gear is engaged when reaching the destination and turning off the engine for parking. At this time, both the wheels and transmission are in a locked state, preventing the vehicle from rolling downhill. 3. The D gear is engaged when driving forward, after which you can press the accelerator. Other gear positions on a car mean: N stands for Neutral, S stands for Sport mode, L stands for Low gear, and M stands for Manual mode in an automatic transmission.
