Which Gear is the Reverse Gear in an Automatic Transmission?
1 Answers
Automatic transmission vehicles have the reverse gear as: R gear. Automatic transmission cars have six gear positions in total, arranged from top to bottom as: P, R, N, D, S, L. Driving an automatic transmission car only requires the use of the parking gear P, reverse gear R, neutral gear N, and drive gear D to meet the needs of general driving. Below is an introduction to the gears of an automatic transmission: 1. P (Parking gear), after the car stops, engaging the P gear will brake the vehicle to prevent movement; 2. R (Reverse gear), this gear can only be engaged when the vehicle is stopped, and models with a lock button require pressing the button to switch; 3. N (Neutral gear), temporarily stopping and engaging this gear, such as when waiting at a traffic light, while also pulling up the handbrake, this gear is prohibited when going downhill; 4. S (Sport gear), the difference between D gear and S gear is only that the computer switches different shifting programs, so S gear can be switched at any time without adverse effects such as damaging the transmission, suitable for overtaking but not for high-speed use; 5. D (Drive gear), the commonly used gear, when needing to shift up or down, it can be done through throttle control, D1 (or L gear), D2, D3 are equivalent to manual transmission's 1st and 2nd gears, 3rd and 4th gears, 5th and 6th gears; 6. L (Low gear), when the vehicle is going downhill, engaging the low gear reduces brake braking, and when going uphill, engaging the low gear makes climbing more powerful; 7. M (Manual mode), unique to manual-automatic integrated models, allows enjoyment of the fun of manual shifting, the '+' sign indicates upshifting, and the '-' sign indicates downshifting.
