What do the gear letters P, R, N, D, M stand for in a car?
1 Answers
Here are the meanings of the gear letters P, R, N, D, M in a car: 1. P stands for Parking, which means the parking gear, also known as the parking brake. It is generally used when parking for a long time. 2. R stands for Reverse, which is the reverse gear. When the gear lever is pushed to R, the car can be reversed. However, it should be noted that to protect the car's transmission, the vehicle must be completely stationary before shifting to R. 3. N stands for Neutral, which means the neutral gear. In this gear, the vehicle has no power output, similar to the neutral gear in a manual transmission. It is commonly used when waiting at traffic lights. 4. D stands for Drive, which is the forward gear. When this gear is engaged, the car has power output, and gently pressing the accelerator will make the car move. The transmission will automatically shift up or down. 5. M gear usually appears in semi-automatic transmissions and is called the manual mode. There are "+" and "-" signs above and below the M gear. Pushing forward increases the gear by one, and pushing backward decreases the gear by one. The M gear is designed to compensate for the lack of driving pleasure in automatic transmission models.
