Which Gear is for Forward in an Automatic Transmission Car?

[VanRowan]

In an automatic transmission, the D gear is the forward driving gear. More details are as follows: 1. P - Parking gear: When the car is parked and not in use, the gear is in this position, where the wheels are mechanically locked to prevent rolling; 2. R - Reverse gear: Used when reversing the car; 3. N - Neutral gear: Used for temporary stops (e.g., at a red light). Additionally, this gear indicates neutral, and to prevent the car from rolling on a slope, the brake must be engaged; 4. D - Drive gear, also known as the forward gear. This is the gear used when moving forward; 5. S - Sport mode: When this gear is engaged, the transmission can switch freely, but the shifting timing is delayed to keep the engine at high RPM for a period, thereby increasing the car's power.
