What does the B gear mean?
1 Answers
Automatic transmission B gear refers to the brake gear, which is used during continuous downhill driving. It simulates the effect of engine braking through the intervention of the electric motor. Other gears in an automatic transmission include: 1. P gear (Parking gear), which is the starting gear; 2. R gear (Reverse gear); 3. N gear (Neutral gear); 4. D gear (Drive gear), also known as the forward gear; 5. L gear (Low gear); 6. S gear (Sport mode); 7. OD gear (Overdrive gear). Automatic transmissions eliminate the need for drivers to manually shift gears, as the vehicle automatically selects the appropriate gear based on driving speed and traffic conditions.
