What letter represents the reverse gear?
2 Answers
The letter representing the reverse gear is 'R', which is the gear position needed when reversing. Introduction to other letters in automatic transmission cars: 1. The 'P' gear is the parking gear, which automatically locks the engine, functioning similarly to a handbrake; 2. The 'N' gear is the neutral gear, used for brief stops or when waiting at traffic lights; 3. The 'D' gear is the drive gear, the normal gear used for driving; 4. The 'S' gear is engaged in sport mode, where the transmission can shift freely. Additional information: Automatic transmission typically refers to the car's automatic gear-shifting mechanism. While driving, the control system of the automatic transmission selects the appropriate gear based on the engine's speed and load, replacing the driver's subjective judgment and manual gear-shifting operations.
As someone who has been driving for twenty years, I remember that the letter for the reverse gear is R, standing for reverse. Driving is no small matter, especially when reversing, as the blind spots are large and it's easy to hit things. Once, I saw a novice mistakenly shift into D gear while trying to reverse, causing the car to lurch forward and nearly causing an accident. So, always check the gear before starting the car. On an automatic transmission, there's P for Park, R for Reverse, N for Neutral, and D for Drive. R must be used when reversing. When parking, first press the brake and then shift to R, and return to P gear promptly after reversing. Beginners are advised to read the manual more or seek guidance, and use radar assistance when reversing—safety first. Develop good habits to avoid mistakes.
