What do those letters on an automatic transmission car mean?
1 Answers
Automatic transmission cars have letters such as P, R, N, D, S, L, and M. P stands for Park, R for Reverse, N for Neutral, D for Drive, S for Sport mode, L for Low gear, and M for Manual mode. Here is an introduction to automatic transmissions: 1. Classification: An automatic transmission does not require the driver to manually shift gears. The vehicle automatically selects the appropriate gear based on driving speed and traffic conditions. Generally, automatic transmission cars have six gear positions, arranged from top to bottom as P, R, N, D, S, and L. 2. Operation: Driving an automatic transmission car only requires the use of Park (P), Reverse (R), Neutral (N), and Drive (D) gears to meet general driving needs. However, in some special driving environments, other functional gears may be necessary.
