What are the symbols on the automatic transmission? .. our specialist in car Mechanics in the UAE answer

 Although the automatic and manual transmissions have evolved over the years in the face of the rapid development witnessed by the automotive world, the symbols on the automatic gearbox have not changed much, which are usually a set of letters in the English language, which are: (P-R-N-D-L) in addition to the presence of the letters S, M sometimes.

 A car mechanics in the UAE recommends that drivers understand the meanings of these letters for several reasons. Firstly, they are crucial during driving, as each letter has a specific use in a particular situation and time.  Furthermore, knowing them is a key safety measure, as it prevents the driver from needing to search and experiment, thus maintaining focus. 

 Knowing these symbols also helps avoid automatic transmission malfunctions.  Repeated incorrect use can damage any part of the transmission, potentially requiring a specialist in car mechanics in the UAE to fix the problem.  You can either visit one of our centers or contact us via WhatsApp at 788775(0553) to request a mobile mechanic service in Abu Dhabi.

What do the symbols on an automatic transmission mean? 

First, it's important to know that there are basic letters on every car that uses an automatic transmission, which are: (P-R-N-D-L). There are other letters found on some vehicles, such as: S, M. Below, the specialist in car mechanics in the UAE explains the meaning of all these symbols in detail to know the position in which they should be used and with mastery, and all you have to do is continue reading this article.

 But let us remind you that our customer service is available 24/7 through the WhatsApp number 788775(0553), through which you can inquire about anything or request a mobile garage service in Ajman if you need one of the services for your car, which comes to you with a specialist and provides you with everything you need with complete mastery and competitive prices:

  1.  The letter "P": This letter means "Parking", which is an abbreviation for the English word "PARKING", which means parking or parking. Moving the transmission to this symbol helps the brakes to fix the car in a stationary position without moving while parking it. 
  2. The letter "N": It is an abbreviation for "NEUTRAL", which means idle or neutral. It completely separates the transmission from the engine, and therefore the car will not work. The difference here between it and the parking position is that the neutral position will not be sufficient to stop the vehicle if something moves it, the brakes will not work at that time.
  3.  The letter "R": This letter is an abbreviation for the English word "REVERSE", which means going back, but before using this position, it is recommended that the car mechanics technician in the UAE stop the car first and then start using it to prevent problems and the need for a mobile mechanic service in Ajman to reach you and tow your vehicle and fix the damage that occurred.
  4.  The letter "D": This means that the car is in driving mode, but it differs in the car's position while driving between "D1", which is the first gear, which is used when climbing a steep slope or towing a heavy object, which means making the torque force work at maximum speed, while D2 and D3 are in a case where the vehicle was driving on a slippery road with rain and floods or a steep slope, which gives the car more weight and control.
  5.  The letter "L": The driver needs this position in the transmission when driving on sloping roads. Pressing this position, which means "LOW DRIVE GEAR", will increase the difficulty of shifting from one gear to another and increase the engine speed per minute, which helps slow down the vehicle and stop it without constantly pressing the brake pedal, and this is usually in four-wheel drive vehicles.
  6.  The letter "M": The driver chooses this position when he wants to fully control the car by increasing speeds and moving from one gear to another easily, because it means transferring the vehicle to manual mode, where this letter is an abbreviation for the English word "MANUAL SHIFTING OPTION". 
  7. The letter "S": This letter abbreviates the English word "SPORTY DRIVE", because by choosing it, the car is converted to sports mode, so it is more stable on the ground, and it allows the driver to reach maximum speeds.

 However, caution should be exercised when using this position frequently, as it is a wrong habit that causes transmission malfunctions due to pressure on the parts, which leads to gradual wear, which may lead you to search for a car mechanics in the UAE or request a mobile garage service in Sharjah through the WhatsApp number 788775(0553).
