What does the +- next to the D gear mean
1 Answers
The +- next to the D gear refers to a manual shifting mode in an automatic transmission. Here is a relevant introduction about the manual mode in cars: Principle: The manual mode is essentially an electronic control device added to the automatic transmission, which allows for gear shifting (upshifting and downshifting) based on the driver's commands. When the gear lever is in the D position, moving it to the right activates the manual mode. Pushing it upward shifts the transmission up one gear, while pushing it downward shifts it down one gear. Advantages: The manual mode in cars is generally more fuel-efficient and energy-saving. Additionally, this mode is technologically mature, enhances driving pleasure, allows for quicker starts and easier overtaking, and provides more power compared to automatic transmission. For drivers, it also helps improve limb coordination and keeps the brain agile.
