Automatic: P R N D

Road-life decision workshop

Make one decision at a time. Learn from each result, retry mistakes and keep your completed training report.

Change a control and observe why the result changes. These are simplified teaching models, not measurements for a real vehicle.

Original explanatory animation — simplified, no audio; captions available

P locks the parking mechanism, R reverses, N is neutral and D drives forward. Use the right foot for brake and accelerator; keep the left foot on its rest.
Hold the brake when selecting D or R and expect creep in some cars. Stop fully before changing between forward and reverse or selecting P.
Secure parking with the service brake, parking brake and P as directed by the handbook. Driver assistance and an automatic gearbox do not replace observation.

Complete every check correctly to master this lesson. Each applied question explains the consequence of your choice.
