Lol....It's practically the same thing....just that you won't be shifting gears ...and there is no clutch. You'll find it relatively easier I think. |

And you use just one leg for the pedals (brake and accelerator) |

The easiest thing, but note that if you are coming from manual you should use one leg to avoid confusion |

Driving an Auto is basically: 1. Park(P) : Place the lever here after coming to a complete stop. Your right leg should remain on the brake pedal until you do this & apply the parking brakes. 2. Reverse (R) : Use this to reverse. 3. Neutral(N) : Use this when you will be standing still in traffic for extended periods. 4. Drive(D) : keep your lever here when moving forward normally. 5. Special gears... S, L or 2, 1: Used to restrict your transmission to a particular gear when towing or during extended driving on hills. S or 2 restricts to gear 2 while L or 1 restricts to gear 1. Usually, you can only start your engine on park or neutral positions. |

0rex: I never knew about this before now. I knew it was a low gear but never knew it restricts it to that particular gear. |
