What gear should be used when towing an automatic transmission vehicle?

When towing an automatic transmission vehicle, shift to N gear, release the handbrake, and lift the drive wheels. Otherwise, prolonged towing may cause wear to the transmission. The towing speed should not exceed 50 kilometers, and the distance of towing in neutral should not be too long. However, manual transmission vehicles can be directly towed when in neutral. The usage methods for automatic transmission gears are as follows: 1. P gear is the parking gear, recommended when parking for more than 1 minute. 2. N gear is the neutral gear, suitable for parking between 15 seconds to 60 seconds with the handbrake engaged. 3. R gear is the reverse gear, used when reversing. 4. D gear is the drive gear, commonly used for daily driving; shift to this gear for normal driving. 5. S gear is the sport mode, which delays upshifting to provide more powerful acceleration; use this gear when feeling slow acceleration during overtaking. 6. Push the D gear to the right to enter manual mode; in manual mode, push forward towards the plus sign to upshift and backward towards the minus sign to downshift.
