You won\u2019t find a single car with a manual gearbox in our fleet, as I\u2019m sure you\u2019ve noticed. Switching from a manual to an automatic can be, for many, a tough nut to crack. So let\u2019s explain how to use an automatic transmission properly.<\/p>\n
The difference from the manual is the control of the gear lever and the number of pedals. In a car with an automatic transmission, you won\u2019t find a clutch pedal, only a throttle and brake pedal. So you\u2019ll have to unlearn how to use your left foot. It can be a big habit at first, but you\u2019ll get used to it quickly over time and as you drive. We recommend that you keep your left foot off the pedals and be alert.<\/p>\n
The gear lever in an automatic does not have a number designation because you are not shifting gears, you are just switching between gearbox \u201cmodes\u201d. So you\u2019ll find 4 letters with basic functions and one extra.
To switch between functions, you always have to press the brake pedal and press a button on the gear lever (there is no button on the Toyota Yaris, you just move the lever).<\/p>\n
P \u2013 Parking: this position is always selected when the car is parked after the wheels have stopped. It works like the first gear when the car is parked, but we recommend using the handbrake in addition, not only when parking on a hill.<\/p>\n
R \u2013 Reverse: reverse gear, used to drive backwards as in a manual gearbox.<\/p>\n
N \u2013 Neutral: Neutral is not used much in automatic transmissions. The automatic is not designed for frequent shifting, so it is better to leave it in D \u2013 Drive when stopped in traffic or at a traffic light.<\/p>\n
D \u2013 Drive: a level for starting and driving forward. It is not recommended to shift to N \u2013 Neutral when driving downhill.<\/p>\n
B \u2013 Brake: The last stage, found in hybrid and electric cars, provides forward driving with regenerative braking. When you ease off the throttle, the vehicle slows down considerably with the help of regeneration, recharging the battery.<\/p>\n
