ford speedometer gear chart
Ford speedometer gear chart：
① P parking gear: when entering this gear, the transmission locking mechanism starts to work, so it can only be engaged after the vehicle stops stably.
② R reverse gear: this gear is used for reversing. It can only be engaged after stepping on the brake and stopping steadily during reversing. It cannot be engaged during driving.
③ N neutral gear: generally used for short-term parking, when the engine is at idle speed.
④ D forward gear: all forward gears can be automatically shifted to higher gear and lower gear. The shift time depends on the engine load, personal driving style and driving speed.
⑤ S sport gear: the gear shift of the transmission is delayed, the engine speed becomes higher to obtain better dynamic response, and the sport mode can be used when overtaking.
⑥ L low speed gear: when engaging the low speed gear, the transmission will be locked in the first and second gears so that the engine can be in the maximum torque speed range for a long time. It is generally used when going up steep slopes.
⑦ M manual gear: the manual gear mode requires the driver to switch gears by himself. Generally, push up to increase the first gear, and push down to decrease the first gear. Manual mode can increase driving pleasure.
⑧ Brake gear B: engaging this gear can enhance the kinetic energy recovery effect of the vehicle, and can effectively avoid braking heat attenuation when facing a long downhill.
1. Gear selection under different road conditions
① Uphill: the ramp section needs greater torque support than usual. It is recommended to use "d-" to reduce speed and increase torque. If it is found that there is sufficient power, it should use "d+" to upshift to protect the transmission and engine. If the power is still insufficient, the s Gear Sports mode can be used.
② Downhill: it is recommended to use "d+" gear for upshift, gear 3 for gentle slope and gear 2 for steep slope, so as to protect the brake pads from early wear. Gear 2 or 3 can meet the power demand without the high torque of gear 1. When the vehicle can not control the downhill slide in the downhill section, the "d-" downshift control should continue to be used.
