In an condition accidental , the position lever of the automatic car transmission can reportedly change positions.
Using a car with an automatic transmission or an automatic car does provide comfort, especially when driving in a big city that is always jammed. However, it must be noted how to operate the automatic transmission correctly.
Maybe you've heard or read about errors in the use of automatic transmissions, such as when you accidentally move the shift lever from position D ( drive ) to R ( reverse ) suddenly while the car is moving?
So is this a myth or a fact ?
As quoted from the page Mitsubishi Motors , the statement about moving the transmission lever from position D (drive) to R (reverse) suddenly turned out to be a myth.
This wouldn't have happened if it wasn't on purpose. Every vehicle with automatic or automatic transmission must pass the N (Neutral) position when moving from the D (Drive) to R (Reverse) position.
Likewise with the entire range of Mitsubishi products.
For shifting the linear transmission lever as found in the Mitsubishi Xpander, it is mandatory to press the safety button on the lever when switching from N to R.
As for the gate type like the one in the Mitsubishi Triton, this transfer must be done by pressing the brake pedal, so the car must be in a state of stopping. The lever will not move to the R position if it is detected that the car is in a moving condition.
The main function of the safety button on the linear lever is to release lock or release the lock so that the lever can be moved to the R position. So it is unlikely that this type of misuse will occur. If this button is not pressed, the shift lever will remain locked in the N position.
It seems that what happens a lot is that when you move accidentally, from position D suddenly moves to position N, this is still possible. Moreover, this displacement is enough by sliding the lever, without a locking mechanism from the D to N direction.
Even so, if this displacement occurs suddenly, it is not at all harmless to both the driver and the car. But only when the car is on a flat road. It's different if the car is tilted or uphill in mountainous areas, it must be anticipated by stepping on the brake pedal because when the lever position is moved to N, the car will automatically be able to reverse suddenly as well.
