What letter represents the forward gear in a car?

[HarmonyRose]

In cars, the forward gears are represented by the letters D, S, and L. The presence of letter-designated forward gears indicates an automatic transmission model. P stands for Parking gear, used when parking (and turning off the engine); R represents Reverse gear; N stands for Neutral, which has the same meaning as in manual transmissions, used for brief stops. The S gear is the Sport mode, which enhances the vehicle's power output. When shifted into S gear, the car will delay upshifts or perform early downshifts to maintain higher engine RPMs, increasing torque output for greater power. The L gear is the Low gear, also known as the climbing gear, which reduces speed while increasing torque, commonly used when climbing slopes.
