What is the function of D plus/minus gear?

[GiaRose]

The function of D plus/minus gear is: After shifting into D gear, pull the gear lever sideways to enter manual driving mode. At this time, pushing the gear lever forward or backward can achieve manual gear shifting, increasing driving pleasure, and it can also be used in special road conditions. D plus/minus gear is the manual mode of the transmission, basically used when the vehicle is accelerating or decelerating. Situations where you switch to manual mode for gear shifting include: 1. When climbing a long steep slope, you can switch to manual mode and then shift to 1st gear to climb. This restricts the vehicle to low gear driving, preventing frequent gear shifting, making the vehicle more powerful when climbing, and also protecting the transmission; 2. When descending a long slope, you can use manual mode to similarly restrict the transmission to low gear, which can control the vehicle speed without needing to press the brake for a long time, avoiding brake overheating that affects braking performance; 3. When accelerating to overtake, if you want to overtake quickly, you can switch the gear to manual mode, then downshift first. The vehicle can use the high torque of the low gear to accelerate instantly, completing the overtaking action faster.
