Which gear is the starting gear for an automatic transmission car?
1 Answers
In an automatic transmission car, the starting gear is the D (Drive) gear. Automatic transmission cars only have two pedals: the brake and the accelerator. The left pedal is the brake, and the right pedal is the accelerator—this order must be clearly remembered. To start the car, first press the left brake pedal, then the right accelerator pedal. An automatic transmission eliminates the need for the driver to manually shift gears, as the vehicle automatically selects the appropriate gear based on driving speed and traffic conditions. Generally, automatic transmission cars have six gear positions, arranged from top to bottom: P (Park), R (Reverse), N (Neutral), D (Drive), S (Sport), and L (Low). For regular driving, only the P (Park), R (Reverse), N (Neutral), and D (Drive) gears are necessary. However, in certain special driving conditions, other gears may be required.
