Will an automatic transmission car move when in D gear without pressing the accelerator?
1 Answers
An automatic transmission car will move when in D gear without pressing the accelerator because automatic transmission vehicles do not have a clutch pedal. When the gear is shifted into the driving position, the clutch is already in a connected state. At this point, without the resistance from the brakes, the car will naturally move forward slowly. An automatic transmission, as the name suggests, does not require manual gear shifting while driving. The control system of the automatic transmission automatically selects the appropriate gear based on the engine speed and load, replacing the driver's subjective judgment and gear-shifting operations. The advantage of an automatic transmission over a manual transmission is that it is easier to drive. Additionally, automatic transmissions include continuously variable transmissions (CVT), electronic paddle shifters, and electronic gear lever transmissions. Currently, there are three types of vehicle transmissions: manual transmission, automatic transmission, and semi-automatic transmission.
