Which Gear is for Forward Movement in an Automatic Transmission?

[McJace]

In an automatic transmission, the D gear is the forward gear. More details are as follows: 1. When shifting to D (Drive) or R (Reverse), you must press the brake pedal; otherwise, the gear won't engage. 2. After the gear is engaged, release the brake, and the vehicle will start moving forward (or backward), then you can accelerate. 3. To stop, simply press the brake pedal, and the vehicle will come to a halt. Below is a brief introduction to automatic transmission gears: 1. An automatic transmission, as the name suggests, does not require the driver to manually shift gears. The vehicle automatically selects the appropriate gear based on speed and traffic conditions. Typically, an automatic transmission has six gear positions, arranged from top to bottom as: P, R, N, D, S, L. 2. On the gear lever, P stands for Park, R for Reverse, N for Neutral, and D for Drive. For a manual-automatic transmission, '+' increases a gear, and '-' decreases a gear. For uphill or downhill driving, the D gear is sufficient, and you can control the speed using the brake and accelerator. When waiting at a traffic light or stopping briefly, keep the gear in D and press the brake.
