KIA Rio gearbox modes:
* P (Park) – parking: the transmission is blocked and the parking brake is applied. Used for long-term parking.
* R (Reverse) – reverse: used to move backwards.
* N (Neutral) – neutral: the transmission is not engaged, the car can roll freely.
* D (Drive) – forward movement: the main mode for driving the car.
* OD (Overdrive) – overdrive: used when driving at a constant speed on the highway. Improves fuel economy.
* L (Low) – low gear: used to achieve greater traction on inclines or when driving with a heavy load.
* M (Manual) – manual mode: allows you to manually change gears using the gear selector.
