Main modes of the Hyundai Getz automatic transmission:
*P (Park): Locks the transmission, preventing the vehicle from moving. Used for parking and during long stops.
* R (Reverse): Engages reverse gear.
* N (Neutral): Turns off the transmission, allowing the vehicle to roll freely. Used when towing or to start the engine without engaging any gear.
* D (Drive): Basic driving mode. The transmission automatically switches between gears when you press the gas pedal.
*2 (Second Gear): Limits gear shifting to second gear. Used when driving uphill, with a trailer or in slippery conditions.
*1 (First gear): Limits gear shifting to first gear. Used when driving in severe off-road conditions or when towing.
Additional modes (depending on model and year of production):
* D3 (Drive 3): Limits gear shifting to third gear. Used when driving in urban areas or uphill.
* 4 (Fourth gear): Limits gear shifting to fourth gear. Used when driving at high speed.
* L (Low): Limits gear shifting to first gear only. Used for driving in extreme off-road conditions or when towing.
* S (Sport): Holds engine speed higher and shifts gears at higher speeds for sportier driving dynamics.
* Eco: Optimizes gear shifting for maximum fuel economy.
* Snow: Adjusts the transmission to provide better traction in snow and ice conditions.
