How to Drive an Automatic Car: The Functions of the Gears

What do the letters and numbers on an automatic gearbox mean? It’s crucial to know their role and functions to ace the driving test.

In the automotive world, these letters are known as PRNDL (pronounced as ‘prindle’). What they stand for are:

P (Parking): to park the car.

It locks the transmission shaft and does not let the car move anywhere. The only thing that can rotate in that condition is the non-driving wheels. Although, it will completely lock down a four-wheel drive.

R (Reverse): for reverse driving

Shifting to this gear allows you to drive the vehicle backward. To do that, stop the car completely and choose the R gear after pressing the shift-lock button.

There’s no need to do anything while moving from R to N or D but shifting to R again will require the shift button.

N (Neutral): no gear

It means the vehicle is using no gear. In this state, the transmission will have no connection to the driven wheels and the car will move using the momentum only. You should use it only for pushing or towing the car.

D (Drive): to start and move

Understanding the functions of this gear is the most important when you are learning how to drive an automatic car. Putting the car in this gear means driving normally. But, the transmission uses other variations including D1, D2, and D3 to adjust to the speed at which you drive the vehicle.

The D1 means the very first gear and you can gradually move up to the higher ones. Using the highest gear could be fuel-efficient when you are driving long distances on the highway. Otherwise, these gear ratios are suitable for unusual conditions only such as getting the car out of the ice or mud.

Artificial Intelligence for Road Safety

Image
  Telematics for fleets and insurance started with essential questions concerning: geolocation of vehicles fuel level monitoring the number of kilometers on the dashboard These solutions are now fully operational. We then saw applications while driving: eco-driving tips to save fuel navigation, to save travel time or km Again, these elements are currently being deployed. Similarly, eco-driving assistance applications are being deployed to try to reduce the cost of energy-related operations. But the artificial intelligence that can be embedded in telematics systems (device, smartphone) can provide many other services. In particular, it is possible to significantly reduce the number of road accidents, thereby reducing operating costs. COST OF ROAD ACCIDENTS Road accidents cost fleets dearly: repair costs, if the fleet is self-insured, insurance costs otherwise cost of the immobilization period of the damaged vehicle cost of non-working time of injured personnel cost of late delivery ...

Importance of traffic signal rules

Image
    Adhering to traffic rules and traffic signals is crucial for maintaining road safety and preventing accidents. These road rules and signs are the foundations for smooth movement of vehicles and an efficient network of roads.    Accident prevention:  By following the road safety rules, road users can avoid collisions and injuries. Traffic signals play a crucial role in preventing accidents by regulating the flow of vehicles and ensuring that drivers and pedestrians regulate their movement on the road.  Traffic congestion mitigation:  Well-timed and efficient traffic signals help to reduce traffic congestion by coordinating the movement of vehicles and preventing bottlenecks. This improves traffic flow, reduces travel times, and saves fuel. Pedestrian safety:  Traffic signs and signals provide clear instructions and warnings to pedestrians, allowing them to safely cross the road at designated times. This reduces the risk of pedestrian accidents....

Biodiesel vs. Diesel Fuel

Image
  There are significant differences in environmental impact when comparing biodiesel and diesel’s life cycle emissions. While both fuels produce similar amounts of carbon dioxide during combustion, biodiesel’s carbon dioxide emission is partially offset by the growth of plants like soybeans and other feedstock used to make biodiesel fuel. This leads to a notable decrease in net carbon dioxide emissions over its life cycle. The U.S. Department of Energy reports that pure biodiesel emissions are  reduced by 74% compared to diesel . Meanwhile, a B20 blend  reduces carbon dioxide emissions by 15% . The difference between diesel and biodiesel is also apparent when observing other emission pollutants. Research  published by the Institute of Physics  (IOP) revealed the following results: Carbon monoxide:  Pure biodiesel produces significantly lower carbon monoxide emissions than regular diesel. Hydrocarbon:  Diesel generates higher hydrocarbon emissions ...
