Which Gear is the Reverse Gear?
1 Answers
The position of the reverse gear varies depending on the vehicle model. Below are specific introductions for manual and automatic transmission vehicles: 1. For manual transmission vehicles, the parking gear and neutral gear are the same, located in the gap in the middle of the gear positions. When parking, it is essential to engage the handbrake. In most 5-speed cars, the reverse gear is located below the 5th gear. In a few vehicles, the reverse gear shares the same position as the 1st gear, but to engage reverse, you need to press down the gear shift knob and then shift into reverse. 2. In automatic transmission cars, the reverse gear is mostly positioned towards the front of the gear console, immediately after the P (Park) gear and before the N (Neutral) gear. Whether the car has a P gear or not, the reverse gear and the drive gear are always separated by the neutral gear. Additionally, to engage or disengage the R (Reverse) gear, you must press the brake pedal and either press the safety button on the gear shift handle or push down the gear shift lever.
