Which Gear is Forward in an Automatic Transmission?
1 Answers
In an automatic transmission, 'D' stands for Drive, which is the forward gear. When in 'D' gear, the transmission automatically shifts between gears 1 to 4 based on speed and throttle conditions. This gear is used for normal road driving. The gears in an automatic transmission car include: 1. 'N' is Neutral: When shifted into neutral, the planetary gear system idles and cannot output power; 2. 'R' is Reverse: When shifted into this gear, the reverse hydraulic circuit is engaged, causing the drive wheels to rotate in reverse for backward movement; 3. 'S' is Sport mode, suitable for highway driving or overtaking. 'S' and 'D' are two driving modes of the car. In 'S' gear, the car's automatic shifting is delayed; 4. 'L' is Low gear, suitable for automatically controlling the car's speed when going downhill.
