What does D1 gear mean?

D1 gear means fixed gear. Under normal road conditions, you can drive using the D gear all the time. However, there are several situations where you should not keep the gear in D, which are: 1. Driving on mountainous roads. When driving on mountainous roads, you should choose the appropriate time to shift to a lower gear. 2. Climbing a slope. When climbing a slope, you should shift to a low gear. 3. Excessive speed. If the speed is too fast and exceeds the maximum speed of the gear you want to shift down to, downshifting at this time can cause significant damage to the automatic transmission, easily burning the friction plates in the transmission. Moreover, many automatic transmission vehicles have a self-protection mode, making this operation impossible to achieve. In such cases, you need to use the brakes to reduce the speed before shifting to the appropriate gear.
