Why Can't I Shift Gears in My Subaru?
1 Answers
When shifting gears, the brake pedal was not pressed. Types of car gears: Manual transmission, automatic transmission. Gear descriptions: P (Parking) - The P gear is used for parking. It employs a mechanical device to lock the rotating parts of the car, preventing movement. R (Reverse) - The R gear is used for reversing. Unlike manual transmission cars, automatic transmission cars cannot use semi-clutch, so special attention must be paid to accelerator pedal control when reversing. N (Neutral) - The N gear can be used during startup, towing, or temporary stops (e.g., at a red light). To prevent the vehicle from rolling on a slope, always press the brake when in neutral. D (Drive) - The D gear is the forward driving gear. In this gear, the transmission automatically shifts between 1st and overdrive (equivalent to 1st to 4th gear) based on speed and throttle conditions, and is used for normal road driving.
