What do the gear shift letters stand for?

[DelTyler]

Driving gear shift letters represent the following: 1. P stands for Park, generally used when turning off and parking the vehicle; 2. N stands for Neutral, typically used for short stops, such as waiting at traffic lights; 3. L stands for Low gear, also known as the climbing gear, which is essentially equivalent to the 1st gear in a manual transmission, 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 S gear keeps the engine at higher RPMs, increasing torque output for greater power, commonly used when overtaking.
