What do the letters on an automatic transmission car represent?
1 Answers
An automatic transmission has six gear positions, arranged from top to bottom as follows: P, R, N, D, S, L. The meanings represented by the letters on an automatic transmission are as follows: 1. P: Parking gear, starting gear. Prevents the car from rolling. 2. R: Reverse gear. Used for reversing the car. 3. N: Neutral gear. Used for temporary parking. 4. D: Drive gear. The transmission automatically shifts between gears 1-5 based on speed and throttle conditions. 5. S: Sport mode. Engaging this gear allows free gear shifting, but increases fuel consumption. 6. L: Low gear. The transmission stays in first gear without upshifting, providing some braking function when going downhill, and can be used in situations like slopes.
