What does reverse mean in a car?
1 Answers
reverse in a car refers to the reverse gear, which is one of the three standard gears in a vehicle. It is marked as R on the gear console and is designed to allow the vehicle to move backward. It is a special driving gear, and it is essential to ensure the vehicle is completely stopped before engaging the reverse gear. An automatic transmission typically refers to a 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 and gear-shifting operations. A typical automatic transmission car has six gear positions, arranged from top to bottom as: P, R, N, D, S, L.
