1. The Very Beginning - Park

The P is responsible for locking the driving wheels from moving. If the car is parked (P) and you want to start driving, you should never forget to press the brake pedal before turning the key on and then shifting to drive.

2. Drive

When you put the gear on D, you are giving the order for the car to move forward. Don’t forget to shift the gear from P (parking) to D. Press on the gas pedal slightly to get going.

3. Neutral

The neutral “N” is used when you are stopped, but will need to go again soon. Of course, you should not use (N) while driving. Neutral is also for when you need to push your car should it break down.

4. Reverse

Now it’s time for “R,” the reverse. Here’s a warning. Don’t forget to press the brake pedal and check all the different mirrors in your car carefully to make sure that you’ll cause no harm. Once you release the brake pedal, the car will move backward. Remember, you should not speed up while reversing and you should always use the brake pedal for safety.
