What does R.N.D.S on a car mean?
1 Answers
R.N.D.S on a car refers to the gear positions of an automatic transmission vehicle. Among them, the R gear is the reverse gear, used when reversing; the N gear is the neutral gear, which can be used for brief parking; the D gear is the drive gear, whose function is to automatically select gears when the car is moving forward; the S gear is the sport mode gear, typically used when climbing hills or quickly overtaking. Below is an introduction to related content: 1. P (Parking) Parking gear, starting gear: When the car is parked and not in use, 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) Reverse gear: Used when reversing. The vehicle must not be forced into the "R" gear before it has completely stopped, or the transmission will be severely damaged. 3. N (Neutral) Neutral gear: Used for temporary stops (such as at a red light). This gear position indicates neutral. To prevent the vehicle from rolling on a slope, the brake must be applied. 4. D (Drive) Drive gear: Used for normal road driving. 5. S (Sport) Indicates sport mode: When this gear is engaged, gears can be freely switched, but the shifting timing is delayed to keep the engine at high RPM for a period, increasing the car's power. Using this gear will result in higher fuel consumption.
