Which gear should an automatic car be in to move forward?

[McErin]

An automatic car moves forward when in D (Drive) gear. An automatic transmission typically refers to a car's automatic gear-shifting mechanism, where the transmission control system automatically selects the appropriate gear based on the engine's speed and load during driving, replacing the driver's subjective judgment of timing and gear-shifting operations. Generally, an automatic transmission has six gears: P (Park) for parking, R (Reverse) for reversing, N (Neutral) for neutral, D (Drive) for moving forward, S (Sport) for climbing hills, and L (Low) for low-speed driving. The method for reversing an automatic car is: 1. Press the brake to stop the car, hold the lock switch on the gear lever, and shift to R (Reverse) gear; 2. Check the side mirrors and rearview camera to confirm there are no obstacles behind the car, and honk the horn twice to alert nearby pedestrians and vehicles; 3. Slowly release the brake to allow the car to move at a low speed.
