What does it mean to downshift by one gear and downshift by two gears?
1 Answers
Downshifting by two gears means directly reducing the car's gear by two levels from a higher gear. Below is relevant information: 1. P (Parking) gear, starting gear: When you park and do not use the car, the gear is in this position, at which time the wheels are mechanically locked to prevent rolling. The vehicle must be completely stopped before using the P gear, otherwise the mechanical parts of the automatic transmission may be damaged. 2. R (Reverse) gear: Used when reversing. Unlike manual transmission cars, automatic transmission cars cannot use semi-clutch engagement, so special attention should be paid to the control of the accelerator pedal when reversing. Usually, you need to press the safety button on the shift lever before moving it to the "R" gear. Never force the shift lever to the "R" gear before the vehicle has completely stopped, as this can cause severe damage to the transmission.
