Which Gear Should a Cadillac Use for Reversing?
1 Answers
To reverse a Cadillac, shift to the R gear. Below is a detailed introduction to the car's gears: 1. R gear (Reverse gear): When this gear is engaged, it connects the hydraulic system's reverse oil circuit, causing the drive wheels to rotate in reverse for backward movement. Do not force the shift into the "R" gear when the vehicle is not completely stopped, as this may damage the transmission. 2. N gear (Neutral gear): When in neutral, the planetary gear system idles without power output. 3. D gear (Drive gear): When the gear shift lever is in this position, the hydraulic control system automatically connects the corresponding forward gear oil circuit based on throttle opening and vehicle speed signals, allowing automatic shifting up or down with changes in driving speed for automatic transmission functionality. 4. P gear (Parking gear): This uses a mechanical device to lock the rotating part of the car's tires, preventing the vehicle from moving. 5. L gear (Low gear or Digital limit gear): The transmission can only switch within the limited gears. "1" or "L" is the lowest gear of the transmission, typically used only when extremely strong power is needed, such as climbing steep slopes or towing heavy vehicles.
