Which gear should be used for overtaking in an automatic transmission car?
1 Answers
Automatic transmission cars can use either the D gear or the S gear for overtaking. Both D gear and S gear are commonly used positions in automatic transmissions. The D gear is the drive gear, designed to allow the car to freely select gears while moving forward. The S gear is the sport mode, where the transmission can shift freely but with delayed shift timing. An automatic transmission typically refers to the car's automatic gear-shifting mechanism, where the control system of the automatic transmission 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.
