What Do the Gears in a Car Mean?
1 Answers
In an automatic transmission car, the P on the gear stands for Park, R stands for Reverse, N stands for Neutral, and D stands for Drive. Regarding speed: First gear corresponds to a speed of 0-5 km/h. Second gear corresponds to a speed of 5-20 km/h, third gear corresponds to 20-40 km/h, fourth gear corresponds to 40-60 km/h, and fifth gear corresponds to 60-100 km/h. Shifting timing: Generally, the shifting timing for most cars is when the engine speed reaches 2000 r/min, and it should not exceed 2500 r/min. For some high-displacement, high-power engines, shifting can be done around 3000 r/min.
