What is the DNR gear position?
1 Answers
Automatic transmission cars have P, R, N, and D gear positions, which correspond to parking, reverse, neutral, and drive respectively. In addition to these, automatic transmission models also have L, S, and M gear positions. L stands for low gear, S stands for sport mode, and M stands for manual mode, which is unique to models with a manual-automatic transmission and comes with M+ and M- modes. Detailed explanation of PRNDS gear positions: 1. D - Drive: The most commonly used gear position. Gear shifting is controlled by the accelerator. 2. P - Parking: After the car stops, engaging P gear prevents the vehicle from moving. Unlike N gear, P gear interrupts power output. Some models now have an independent P gear called electronic braking, which works on the same principle. 3. N - Neutral: Temporarily stops the vehicle's movement without interrupting power, such as when waiting at a traffic light. The handbrake should be engaged, and this gear should not be used when going downhill. 4. R - Reverse: Can only be engaged when the vehicle is stationary. Models with a lock button require pressing the button to switch. 5. S - Sport: The difference between D and S gears is simply the computer switching to a different shifting program. S gear can be switched at any time without damaging the transmission. It is suitable for overtaking and climbing hills but is not recommended for other scenarios due to higher fuel consumption. 6. L - Low: When going downhill, engaging low gear reduces brake usage; when going uphill, it provides more power. D1 (or L), D2, and D3 are equivalent to manual gears 1 and 2, 3 and 4, and 5 and 6. 7. M - Manual mode: A unique gear position for manual-automatic transmission models, offering the fun of manual shifting. '+' indicates upshifting, and '-' indicates downshifting. Downshifting is used for overtaking, going downhill, or when entering a highway.
