  • In this video, I go over a driving lesson on using the gear selector in an automatic car. I talk about the letters beside the gear stick, and how to use it properly. I also talk about what happens when you put the car into each of the common gears (drive, reverse, neutral, park, and low).

    I have seen automatic cars with something like this: P R N OD D 1, which stand for park, reverse, neutral, overdrive, drive, and first gear. Overdrive works best for gas milage on the freeway at sixty miles per hour, but when speed limits are thirty-five to forty miles per hour and you are travelling from signal light to signal light to signal light, you should use regular drive, instead. If you use regular drive, instead of overdrive on a four speed automatic, you are telling the computer to stay out of fourth gear, therefore reducing that gear hunting that you might experience in city driving situations.

    Park also does the same thing as neutral since it discontinues the power to the wheel that comes from the engine, it is not wise to state that the gas pedal is disconnected fron the wheels no, but it is wise to state that the power coming from the engine is discontinued. Also that a mode shift stick.
    Also that button which allows you to shift to reverse is similar to the manual transmission gearshift tongue which is prominent in some cars like Hyundai and Kia, and when pull that tongue up in a manual transmission, it allows you to shift to reverse, it is very important so that whenever you shift to 1st gear you won't accidentally shift to reverse.

    What annoys me is, I wanna be able to feel confident that I’m in drive mode. Basically in traffic when I put the car into P, and then to move off, I constantly have to look down and take the gear into D. Cos I feel scared that I’ve passed into another gear. They should make D right at the end of the gear, so you just pull the gear all way back to enter D, without having to look down making sure it’s defo In D mode

      @istvanifj.gazdag235 4 роки тому

      In terms of handling the car? Yes. The button is a security function. Eg. you can't put it in reverse or to a park while driving in forward because that would break the gearbox. Using it all the time will make this security function pointless. Well, of course, due to the arrangement of the gears it will not likely that a scenario like this would happen, but you know safety is above all.

      @hwdstmisbest 5 років тому +10

      Hey Sean, 1 and 2 refer to gears in the transmission. In a manual transmission, you have the option to select any gear with the stick shift. With an automatic, a computer determines the proper gear to be in, based off of vehicle speed, load on the engine, RPM, and the percentage of throttle being used. However, say you're driving in snow and want to limit your speed down a hill, but don't want to ride you brakes, you would put the car in 1, for 1st gear (0-15 mph generally) or 2, (15-25 generally). So instead of riding your brakes, you can limit the gear, and thus, how fast the car will go. Hope that helps
