What do the letters SDPR represent in terms of gears?
1 Answers
The following are the gear positions represented by the four letters SDRP: 1. P gear = Parking, which means parking (for example, when parking the car). When the gear shift lever is in this position, the parking lock mechanism locks the transmission output shaft. 2. R gear = Reverse, meaning the vehicle is in reverse gear at this time. When the lever is in this position, the reverse gear hydraulic circuit is engaged, causing the drive wheels to rotate in reverse, enabling the vehicle to move backward. Usually, the safety button on the lever must be pressed to move the lever to the "R" position. 3. D (Drive) gear, also known as the forward gear. When the gear shift lever is in this position, the hydraulic control system automatically engages the corresponding forward gear circuit based on throttle opening signals and vehicle speed signals. 4. S gear is the car's sports mode ("S" stands for "Sport"). Many automatic transmission cars now come with an S gear, and some high-end models of A-segment cars also feature an S gear design. In S gear sports mode, the transmission can shift freely, but the shift timing is delayed, keeping the engine at high RPM for a longer period. This allows the car to maintain low gear and high RPM for an extended duration, resulting in greater torque output and acceleration.
