What does the plus and minus on an automatic transmission mean?
1 Answers
Automatic transmission vehicles have plus and minus signs on the gear shift, which represent gear changes. The plus sign indicates upshifting, while the minus sign indicates downshifting. If you want to increase the vehicle's speed, you can push the gear shift towards the plus sign; to reduce the vehicle's speed, you can push the gear shift towards the minus sign.
