1 Answers
Automatic transmission D gear is the forward gear, and D gear is the most common gear in automatic transmission models. The following is knowledge about the basic gears and other gears of automatic transmission: Basic gears of automatic transmission: D gear: Also known as the forward gear, it is the most commonly used gear in automatic transmission vehicles. After shifting into D gear, the driver only needs to step on the accelerator to control the speed. N gear: Commonly known as "neutral gear", its technical name is "temporary parking gear". As the name suggests, it is used during temporary stops while driving, such as waiting at traffic lights, in traffic jams, or during brief stops. P gear: This gear is the "parking gear", which is different from the "neutral gear + handbrake" in manual transmissions. It is generally used when the vehicle needs to be parked for a long time. When the vehicle comes to a complete stop, you can shift into P gear to prevent the vehicle from rolling. Additionally, when turning off the engine and removing the key, you must first shift into P gear. R gear: The reverse gear is familiar to everyone. When using this gear, you must ensure that the vehicle has come to a complete stop before shifting into it, otherwise it may damage the transmission. Also, note that unlike manual transmission vehicles, automatic transmission vehicles cannot control the clutch for semi-engaged driving, so special attention must be paid to accelerator control when reversing. Other gears of automatic transmission: L gear: Commonly known as the low gear, it is usually used for uphill sections and is less frequently used in daily driving. S gear: Also known as the sport gear, shifting into S gear enhances the vehicle's handling feel, making it suitable for friends who enjoy "playing with handling".
