Which gear is for forward movement?
2 Answers
D gear is the forward gear. The following is a related introduction about D gear: 1. Introduction: D gear is one of the most common gears in automatic transmission models, belonging to a type of forward gear, covering all forward gears within the vehicle's automatic transmission. When the gear shift lever is placed in D gear, the hydraulic control system automatically engages the corresponding forward gear circuit based on throttle opening signals and vehicle speed signals. 2. Purpose: During forward movement, the vehicle's transmission computer and corresponding mechanical structure work together to automatically select the appropriate gear in real-time, eliminating the need for manual intervention in gear shifting. This greatly liberates the driver's hands and feet, enhancing driving convenience, ease, and comfort.
In automatic transmission vehicles, the forward gear is usually marked as the D gear (Drive gear). Shifting to this gear allows the car to move forward. For example, when I usually drive an automatic car, I habitually step on the brake after getting in, shift from P gear to D gear, then release the brake and press the accelerator to start, making the whole process smooth and convenient. The forward gear in manual transmission cars is the numbered gear in the gear shift, such as starting in 1st gear and gradually shifting to 2nd, 3rd, 4th, and 5th gears based on speed. Automatic transmission is much more convenient as it eliminates the need for frequent gear changes, especially in traffic jams where just the D gear is sufficient. Remember, some cars have an S gear for sport mode or an L gear for low-speed climbing, but they all fall under the forward category, and the D gear is sufficient for daily driving. Important reminder: Do not mistakenly shift to R gear (reverse gear) or N gear (neutral gear), otherwise the car will not move or may coast and cause an accident. Beginners should practice to familiarize themselves with the gear lever positions.
