What do the gear letters on a car represent?
1 Answers
The following explains the meanings of the gear letters in a car: 1. P stands for Park, generally used when parking and turning off the engine; 2. N stands for Neutral, typically used for short stops, such as waiting at a traffic light; 3. L stands for Low gear, also known as the climbing gear, which is equivalent to the 1st gear in a manual transmission and is used when climbing hills; 4. D stands for Drive, used when moving forward, and is the most frequently used gear; 5. S stands for Sport, referred to as Sport mode in many models. Engaging the S gear keeps the engine at higher RPMs, increasing torque output for greater power, commonly used when overtaking.
