What to Do When Suddenly Unable to Engage Reverse Gear?
1 Answers
Solutions for suddenly being unable to engage reverse gear vary depending on the vehicle type: 1. Manual transmission: Try pulling over and checking if gears can be engaged at idle speed. If unsuccessful, towing service is required. 2. Automatic transmission: This may occur when the car battery is low, triggering the transmission's protection program - simply recharge the battery. Additional information: 1. Introduction: Reverse gear (R), one of three standard gears in vehicles, enables backward movement and is a special driving mode. 2. Location and design concept: In automatic vehicles, reverse gear is typically positioned at the front of the gear console, after P (Park) and before N (Neutral). Regardless of P gear presence, reverse gear is always separated from drive gear by neutral, requiring brake pedal depression plus either pressing the shift lock button or pushing down the shift lever to engage/disengage R gear.
