What does the automatic transmission indicator mean?

According to the information, there are 5 gears in an automatic transmission, namely P gear, R gear, N gear, D gear, and S gear. Below is a detailed introduction about them: P gear: The Chinese name is parking gear, also known as the parking mode. R gear: Reverse gear. When you need to reverse, make sure the vehicle has completely stopped before shifting to R gear. This is because the various gears inside the transmission are still in motion when the car has not completely stopped. Shifting suddenly to R gear at this time can cause significant impact to the internal gears of the transmission. N gear: The Chinese name is neutral gear. It is used very frequently and has relatively high tolerance. Switching to neutral gear does not have many restrictions. However, never coast in neutral gear as it not only does not save fuel but also greatly increases the danger. D gear: It is the most frequently used gear during driving. S gear: Sport mode. When you need to overtake quickly or drive on mountain roads, you can shift to S gear. At this time, the response speed of the transmission will be more sensitive than in D gear, but long-term use will also increase fuel consumption.
