What do the plus and minus signs above the D gear mean?
1 Answers
The plus and minus signs above the D gear indicate that the vehicle's automatic transmission is a manual-automatic integrated transmission with manual functionality. While driving, you can shift the gear lever from the D gear to the side with the plus and minus signs, which will simulate a manual transmission, preventing the transmission from automatically upshifting. When pushed towards the plus sign, the gear will increase; when pushed towards the minus sign, the gear will decrease. The D gear, also known as the drive gear, when the gear shift lever is in this position, the hydraulic system control mechanism will automatically engage the corresponding forward gear circuit based on the throttle opening signal and vehicle speed signal. Automatic transmission generally refers to the car's automatic gear-shifting mechanism, where the control system of the automatic transmission selects the appropriate gear based on the engine's speed and load during driving, replacing the driver's subjective judgment of timing and gear-shifting operations.
