What does the forward gear in an automatic transmission car refer to?
1 Answers
Automatic transmission car's forward gear is the D gear. Automatic transmission gears: There are six positions for automatic transmission car gears: P gear is the parking gear and starting gear, preventing the car from rolling; R gear is the reverse gear for backing up; N gear is the neutral gear for temporary parking; D gear is the forward gear and drive gear, where the transmission automatically shifts between gears 1-5 based on speed and throttle conditions; S gear is the sport mode, allowing free gear shifting but increasing fuel consumption; L gear is the low gear, keeping the transmission in 1st gear without upshifting, providing some braking function when going downhill and can be used in situations like slopes. The advantage of automatic transmission over manual transmission is that it does not require shifting gears while driving, making it easier to operate. Additionally, automatic transmissions include continuously variable transmission (CVT), electronic paddle shifters, and electronic gear shift levers. How to use the forward gear: After getting into the car, first press the brake pedal and start the engine. Do not release the brake pedal at this time. Shift into D gear, then release the brake pedal, and the car will move forward.
