Which gear is the forward gear in an automatic transmission car?

[OAva]

In an automatic transmission car, the D gear is the forward gear. Generally, there are six gear positions on an automatic transmission car, arranged from top to bottom as: P, R, N, D, S, L. Driving an automatic transmission car only requires using the parking gear P, reverse gear R, neutral gear N, and forward gear D to meet most needs. However, in some special driving environments, the functional gears may be needed. Detailed gear descriptions: 1. P, Parking gear, also the starting gear. When the car is parked and not in use, the gear is in this position, where the wheels are mechanically locked to prevent rolling; 2. R, Reverse gear. Used when reversing; 3. N, Neutral gear. Used for temporary parking; 4. D, Drive gear, also known as the forward gear; 5. L, Low gear. When going downhill or on long slopes, this gear restricts the car to the lowest gear automatically, allowing the car to use engine braking when descending, preventing the driver from having to brake continuously, which could overheat the brake pads and cause danger.
