What does the gear R mean?

[RuthAnn]

R gear means reverse gear, which is used for reversing. Here is some relevant information: 1. Gear introduction: Generally, automatic transmission vehicles also have P, N, D, S, and L gears. P stands for Parking gear; N stands for Neutral gear; D stands for Drive gear; S stands for Sport gear; and L stands for Low gear. The so-called automatic transmission means that there is no need to shift gears while driving. Its advantage over manual transmission is that it is easier to drive. 2. R gear introduction: R gear = Reverse, which means the vehicle is in reverse gear at this time. When the lever is placed in this position, the reverse gear hydraulic circuit is connected, the driving wheels rotate in reverse, and reverse driving is achieved. Usually, you need to press the safety button on the lever to move the lever to the "R" gear. It should be noted that when the vehicle has not completely stopped, you should not force it into the "R" gear, otherwise the transmission will be damaged.
