What Does the Gear in a Car Mean?

[StJordan]

The gears on a typical automatic transmission car are as follows: P (Parking), R (Reverse), N (Neutral), D (Drive), D1; 2; 3; M+; -; (Limited Gear), L (Low Gear), S (Sport Mode). Below are the relevant introductions: 1. P (Parking) Gear: P is used for parking, utilizing a mechanical device to lock the rotating parts of the car, preventing it from moving. 2. R (Reverse) Gear: R is used when reversing. Unlike manual transmission cars, automatic transmission cars cannot use semi-clutch, so special attention must be paid to the control of the accelerator pedal when reversing. 3. N (Neutral) Gear: N stands for neutral, which can be used during startup, towing, or temporary stops (such as at a red light). 4. D (Drive) Gear, also known as the driving gear: In this gear, the transmission automatically switches between 1 and overdrive (equivalent to 1 to 4 gears) based on speed and throttle conditions. This gear is used for normal road driving.
