What gear should be used when driving a manual transmission car out of an underground garage?
1 Answers
Manual transmission cars use specific gears when exiting an underground garage. P gear: This is the parking gear, which uses mechanical devices inside the transmission to lock the rotating parts of the car. It must only be used when the vehicle is completely stopped. Additionally, the gear must be in P when the car is turned off. N gear: This is the neutral gear. It is generally used for short stops, allowing the right foot to rest off the brake pedal. However, on slopes, the brake must still be applied to prevent the car from rolling unless the handbrake or electronic brake is engaged. D gear: This is the drive gear. When in D gear, the driver only needs to control the accelerator pedal to adjust the speed. The transmission automatically determines the appropriate gear based on the throttle input and vehicle speed, eliminating the need for manual gear changes.
