He's not wasting his time. I drive manual gear (less than 2yrs experience though) but i have always been afraid to drive auto because no one has explained it to me in details like this before. With this I think I'm good to go...

Still have a question though, @Op: which one do you use when you're in a start-stop slow hold up? Is it still the same "'' or "L"?

Truth is OP this should be basic knowledge for any fair driver.

What i would like to know is what does D3 stand for in some auto transmissions?

Adedoks:
Thanks op. I just got a car n Av never used the L or 2.. Am always on D when driving. Thanks for the insight will put this into practice.

stevLegend:

So your brother's wife finally gave u that car u've been asking of her....?
Congrats to u. & thanks to her...

bishop4life:

" D" L is just like gear one

Kachisbarbie:

funny but true. When I switched to auto, I would always come back and tell my bro that the car was flying, I didn't feel like I was in control. He would laugh and say I like suffer .
My greatest fear has to be driving SUVs, I feel like I would climb other small cars...

tunergy:

D all the time

Ada9103:








Lolzzzz.... I bukwa nwa AFO. Your igbo di flawless

nickxtra:
In other words, do mean cars run faster in D2 than in the ordinary D? And at what point should it be relevant to On Overdrive or Off Overdrive?

moscobabs:

thanks for this bro. my dashboard showed O/D last week I was confused cos I didn't know the meaning .But bro why did the OD light blink automatically ?
and pls what's the important of 'Cruise'?

Adedoks:
Oga am confused here... Which brothers wife. Am a man sir.. N the first born so I don't have a brothers wife

piagetskinner:
nice one op... in most modern cars 2013 upwards, i have discovered that there is a + and - lever around the steering area



abeg what is that used for

247notire:
Ezigbo nwafo ka gi na ya n'ekwu

My spoken english (when I want to form posh) is equally as flawless

Yea I'm tryin to get you to respond to that my mention

Gloriouspa:

They are sound system volume controls.

I have always wondered what the signs 'P','R','N','D','2','L' on automatic gear transmission systems represent and decided to google it. And so I share this info hoping it may be of help to someone somewhere.

So here we go:

• P (PARK) - the gear selector should be in this position when the car is parked as it typically locks the transmission so that the car cannot move. In conjunction with this, the parking brake (hand brake) may also be applied. On most cars, the engine cannot be started unless the lever is in this (or 'N') position.

• R (REVERSE) - selecting this position allows the vehicle to be driven in the reverse (backwards) direction.

• N (NEUTRAL) - in this position, the engine is disconnected from the drive train (gears) and the vehicle will not be propelled in either direction when the gas (accelerator) pedal is pressed. The wheels are not locked and the vehicle will be able to roll downhill if the brake pedal is not pressed.

• D (DRIVE) - this is the position that is typically used when the vehicle is being driven. As the vehicle increases (or decreases) in speed, the automatic gear box will select the correct gear for both speed and road conditions.

• 2 (GEAR 2) - typically, automatic gear boxes have 3 of 4 forward gears, so some vehicles may have both 2 and 3 marked on the hear selector. By using this position, the driver 'locks' the transmission in a lower gear so that the engine will run with increased revolutions. This is useful when rapid acceleration is desired. It should be noted that maintaining high revolutions in lower gears will increase the fuel consumption of the vehicle and also the stresses on the vehicle and passengers. It should therefore be used for short periods only.

• L (LOW) - (may be indicated by '1') this is the lowest gear (or 1st gear) available. This position is useful when the vehicle needs to negotiate difficult terrain (such as a steep incline with a poor surface). For downward slopes, the LOW gear provides additional braking through the engine.

• OD (OVERDRIVE) - for vehicles fitted with this option, an extra gear is provided that has a lower ratio than the normal top gear. The power output delivered by this gear is low in comparison to the normal gears and is used for high speed cruising (on interstates / motorways etc). Engine revolutions are reduced, as are noise levels. Fuel consumption is improved

FTBOY:
no video can teach you how to drive manual cars perfectly. in fact, i won't even advise you to rely on what you see on the video. get registered to one of these driving schools and let them coach you practically. you'd be surprised that the technicalities of manual driving differs from one make of car to another

xxgig:


Actually, the video is not meant to teach me, rather to familiarize my self with some things, by the way, driving school is a thousand miles from my location. will do that do, but certainly not now.

ayxmania:

Bros you are MEAN

Reference:
The engine cannot be started when 'P' for Park is selected. Tell me something my cars don't do.

Etizz:
D=drive
R=revise
P=park
N=neutral
2=it simply means the gear will not be more than gear 2, that means it will not enter gear 3 or 4


Na where I know reach be dat oh.... Beside I never drive car with OD oh...... Wish kind motor dey get dat type?

calabaman:

What i would like to know is what does D3 stand for in some auto transmissions?

cremedelacreme:
Na only P,R and D i de use ooo. I use N ocassionally when the car needs a little push. All these L,2 and O/D no be for me oooo
