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

[LeDylan]

In an automatic transmission car, the D gear is the forward gear. The D gear is the commonly used gear position. When you shift into D gear and press the accelerator, the car will move forward. The P gear is the parking gear, generally used when turning off and parking the vehicle. Many vehicles require shifting into P gear before power can be turned off, the key can be removed, and the doors can be locked. After shifting into P gear, the vehicle's transmission will be locked. The R gear is the reverse gear, used when reversing. When this gear is engaged, the car can move backward. The N gear is the neutral gear, which means the vehicle's gear lever is not placed in any forward or reverse gear position. The S gear is the sport gear, also known as sport mode. When this gear is engaged, the car will shift up slowly or downshift early, keeping the engine at higher RPMs and increasing torque output to obtain greater power, commonly used when overtaking. The L gear is the low gear, also known as the climbing gear. Its function is to reduce speed and increase torque, commonly used when climbing hills (equivalent to the 1st gear in a manual transmission).
