Automatic Gear Lever Status Guide:
This guide explains the functions of the different positions on an automatic gear lever. P (Park) locks the transmission when the vehicle is stationary, R (Reverse) is used for moving backward after the vehicle has come to a complete stop, N (Neutral) disconnects power from the wheels and is useful in situations like traffic jams or car washes, and D (Drive) is the standard mode for normal forward driving with automatic gear shifting. Additionally, S (Sport) enhances performance by providing quicker acceleration and higher engine RPM, while L (Low) offers greater engine braking and power for steep slopes or carrying heavy loads.

This page is a beginner driving-training guide about Hand Controls in a car. It explains the three main hand-operated controls—Handbrake (Parking Brake), Gear Lever, and Steering Wheel—and covers what they are, what they do, how they work, and how to use them.
1. Handbrake (Parking Brake)
What it is
The handbrake, also called the parking brake, is used to keep the vehicle stationary when parked.
-What it does
-Secures the car.
-Prevents the vehicle from rolling.
How it works
-Locks the rear wheels.
How to use it
-Press the button and raise or lower the lever (depending on vehicle type).
-Follow the vehicle handbook if necessary.
Key instructions
"Handbrake up" = apply the parking brake.
"Handbrake down" = release the parking brake.
"Secure the car" = ensure the vehicle cannot move.
2. Gear Lever
What it is
-The gear lever is used to select gears.
What it does
-Changes the gear ratio between the engine and wheels.
How it works
Low gears: Less speed, more power.
High gears: More speed, less power.
Most gear levers are spring-loaded to help them return to a central position.
How to use it
Manual Transmission
Press the clutch pedal fully.
Move the gear lever using the "palming technique."
Practice changing gears without looking down.
Automatic Transmission
Press the brake pedal.
Use the button on the gear selector if required.
Practice selecting gears without looking down.
Key instructions
For manual vehicles:
-Cover the gear lever with your palm.
Select the required gear smoothly.
For automatic vehicles:
-Press the release button and select the desired gear.
3. Steering Wheel
What it is
The steering wheel controls the direction of the vehicle.
What it does
Turns the front wheels.
Allows the driver to guide the car safely.
How to use it
Use the pull-push steering technique.
Look where you want the vehicle to go; your hands naturally follow your eyes.
Key instructions
Shallow turns
Small steering movements:
"Steer a few minutes left."
"Steer a few minutes right."
Sharp turns
Larger steering movements:
"Pull/push left."
"Pull/push right."
Minor Controls
Drivers should also know how to operate:
Indicators (using fingertips only)
Wipers
Demister
Speedometer
