Which Gear is the Reverse Gear in a Car?
1 Answers
The reverse gear in a car is the R gear. The steps for reversing are: 1. Press the foot brake firmly and shift from N gear to R gear; 2. Release the handbrake and check the rearview mirror or the path behind where you intend to reverse; 3. Gently release the foot brake, always ready to press it again to park; 4. If the car does not move backward after fully releasing the foot brake when encountering a small obstacle, lightly press the accelerator while keeping your foot ready to press the brake to prevent dangerous rapid reversing; 5. After reversing to the designated position, fully press the foot brake and only release it after pulling up the handbrake; 6. Press the foot brake and shift from R gear to N gear; 7. Release the foot brake to complete the reversing maneuver. Precautions for reversing include: 1. The vehicle must be stationary when shifting into reverse gear to avoid damaging the transmission; 2. Press the clutch before shifting to prevent gear grinding; 3. Avoid forcefully moving the gear lever—gently push the shift lever instead; 4. Lower the speed and reverse slowly, avoiding rapid acceleration.
