Here's an explanation of the common abbreviations used in automatic transmissions.


Copied.

1. D: Stands for "Drive." This is the normal operating mode of the transmission. In this mode, the transmission automatically shifts through all gears as necessary based on the vehicle's speed and load.

2. M: Stands for "Manual" or "Manual Mode." In this mode, the driver has control over shifting gears manually. It allows you to select a specific gear and hold it without the transmission shifting up or down automatically.

3. L: Stands for "Low" or "Low Gear." It is a lower gear range that provides increased engine braking and can be useful when descending steep hills or towing heavy loads. It keeps the transmission in a lower gear to provide more power and control.

4. 2: Represents the second gear. This is useful in situations where you want to limit the transmission to the first two gears and prevent it from shifting into higher gears. It can be helpful for driving in slippery or hilly conditions.

5. + and -: These symbols are used to manually upshift (+) or downshift (-) gears in Manual or Manual Mode. The "+" is used to increase the gear, while the "-" is used to decrease the gear.

Here's a summary of when these modes are typically used:

- D: Use this mode for normal driving conditions, such as highway cruising, city driving, or regular commuting.

- M: Manual mode is often used when you want more control over gear selection, such as during spirited driving or when you need to downshift for better acceleration.

- L: Select this mode when driving down steep slopes or when you need additional engine braking, such as when towing heavy loads.

- 2: Use this mode when you want to limit the transmission to the first two gears, such as in slippery conditions or when driving uphill.

- + and -: These are used in Manual mode to manually shift gears up or down when you desire specific control over gear selection.

Keep in mind that the specific functionality and available modes may vary depending on the vehicle and transmission system.
