What is the Basic Principle of Car Movement?

[AniyahLynn]

The basic principle of car movement is that the torque from the engine is transmitted through the drivetrain to apply a driving torque on the drive wheels, attempting to make them rotate. Below are some key points to note for car movement: 1. Normal roads: There is no specific requirement for the gear; you can drive normally by keeping the car in D (Drive) mode. 2. Parking: When the engine stops, shift the gear to P (Park) to indicate the car is no longer in use. Some cars require shifting to P to remove the key. 3. Reversing: After the car stops moving forward, shift to R (Reverse) and gently release the brake to move backward. 4. Waiting or driving in traffic: You can shift to N (Neutral). 5. Highways or overtaking: You can shift to S (Sport) mode. S mode is the car's sport setting, allowing free gear changes like D mode. It is also useful for climbing hills, as it provides maximum torque output and acceleration.
