Which Gear is the Forward Gear?
1 Answers
The forward gear in an automatic transmission is marked with a D. Here is more relevant information: 1. Precautions for driving an automatic transmission vehicle: (1) The key won't start the car if the gear lever is in the P or N position. (2) When shifting to D (forward gear) or R (reverse gear), you must press the brake pedal; otherwise, the gear lever cannot be moved. (3) After shifting into gear, release the brake, and the car will start moving forward. Then, you can begin accelerating. 2. L gear is the low forward gear: When going downhill or descending a long slope, shifting into this gear restricts the car to the lowest gear automatically. This allows the car to use engine braking during descent, preventing the driver from having to press the brakes for extended periods, which could overheat the brake pads and pose a danger.
