This can differ depending on the gear modes that are available in your car. Usually, cars will have a sport mode or economy mode, or some variations of those. You can and should shift to those while driving but only during the appropriate times. You should also be able to shift to neutral when needed, like if your car dies on the road while driving. You should never try to shift into park or reverse while driving. Which is good because it could severely damage your transmission.
Chances are your car will let you switch from reverse to drive while moving slowly. Even shifting between these gears at a low speed will wear down your transmission faster. For the most part, not really. Automatic transmissions are designed to do their job more efficiently on their own than with us helping. Automatic ones do a better job at shifting than any human can. You can use the driving modes mentioned above when it is appropriate to do so. Learning if you can shift your automatic car while driving is just one piece of the puzzle.
Sport mode does a few different things that change your driving experience. The first thing it does is change when your automatic transmission decides to shift. Usually, automatic transmissions shift at fairly low RPMs. Sport mode makes it shift at a higher RPM. This changes the performance level of the car and gives many a smoother driving experience.
It also affects the suspension and handling capabilities. This is why it can be useful for navigating winding or twisting roads. The point: Regardless of whether your throttle is actually stuck or you're just mistakenly slamming on the gas, the answer is to put the car in neutral.
If the throttle is truly stuck, shifting into neutral will prevent the car from accelerating. If you're like most sufferers of unintended acceleration—you're just aiming for the brake and missing—then the same is true.
You won't be able to accelerate no matter how hard you hit the gas if the car is in neutral. In my experience, neutral also comes in handy when you're in the passenger seat. If Grandpa mistakes the gas for the brake, moving the gear selector into neutral may prevent a crash. The ability to slow a learner's-permit-holding teen with a quick slap into neutral quells many parents' fears. Slap the gear selector, not the teen. I know they deserve it. But don't. Still, when people ask me about unintended acceleration and I say, "Put it in neutral," the response is almost always the same: "But won't that blow up the engine?
The engine's electronic limiter prevents that. Even if it didn't, would you rather total the car than damage the engine? If you do shift into reverse while driving, here's what may happen. Many vehicles on the road today are equipped with a reverse inhibitor as a safety measure for both the vehicle and the driver.
This inhibitor essentially ignores the request to put the transmission in reverse while the car is driving forward until the vehicle has slowed to an acceptable speed to shift. On many vehicles, the reverse inhibitor is controlled by the onboard computer. But even older models utilized a more manual system with a hydraulic control apparatus as the reverse inhibit system. If your vehicle is equipped with a reverse inhibit feature, putting your car in reverse while driving may actually be a bit underwhelming, as the feature won't allow anything to happen until you slow or come to a stop.
If by chance your vehicle is not equipped with a reverse inhibitor, or it is malfunctioning or broken, putting your automatic transmission in reverse while driving will more than likely stall the engine. Your vehicle's automatic transmission is made up of a system of gears that work together to move it down the road.
The gears will spin one direction to power your car forward and the opposite direction when backing up. The automatic transmission uses a torque converter and transmission fluid to shift gears and increase power from the engine to the transmission and ultimately to the wheels. If you somehow manage to shift your automatic transmission into reverse while driving forward, the first thing to do is stay calm!
Panicking may induce irrational and unsafe decisions. When you feel your vehicle stall, let off the gas, shift the vehicle to neutral, and coast to the side of the road. Since the engine likely stalled, you may lose power steering assist and power brake assist, so calmly and carefully bring the car to a safe stop on the side of the road. Make sure your car comes to a complete stop, then shift into park.
