Which gear should be engaged for forward movement in an automatic transmission car?
1 Answers
D gear, L gear, and S gear can all be used for forward movement. Among them, the most commonly used gear is D gear. Below is an introduction to the gears: 1. Typically, an automatic transmission has 6 gears, which are: P gear, R gear, N gear, D gear, S gear, and L gear. 2. P gear: Abbreviation for 'parking', the parking gear. After engaging P gear, the vehicle's transmission will be locked. 3. R gear: Abbreviation for 'Reverse', the reverse gear. Used when reversing; engage R gear to move the car backward. 4. N gear: Abbreviation for 'neutral', the neutral gear. 5. D gear: Abbreviation for 'drive', the drive gear. D gear is the most commonly used gear; engage D gear, step on the accelerator, and the car will move forward. 6. S gear: Abbreviation for 'sport', the sport gear. Many car models refer to this as sport mode. In this mode, the car's power increases, but fuel consumption also rises. 7. L gear: Abbreviation for 'low', the low gear, also known as the climbing gear, used when climbing slopes.
