Which gear is for forward movement in an automatic transmission?
1 Answers
In an automatic transmission, the D (Drive), L (Low), and S (Sport) gears can all be used for forward movement. The forward gear is also known as the driving gear. The driver only needs to control the throttle, and the car will automatically shift gears based on speed and load changes. An automatic transmission eliminates the need for the driver to manually shift gears, as the vehicle automatically selects the appropriate gear according to driving speed and traffic conditions. Generally, an automatic transmission car has six gear positions, arranged from top to bottom as follows: P (Park), R (Reverse), N (Neutral), D (Drive), S (Sport), and L (Low). Driving an automatic car using just the P (Park), R (Reverse), N (Neutral), and D (Drive) gears can fully meet the needs of ordinary driving. However, in some special driving environments, other functional gears may be required. Therefore, choosing the correct operation and control method can make an automatic transmission car perform even better than a manual transmission.
