25 June 2025 | Leave a comment To turn on the automatic transmission (AT) in a Toyota Corolla: 1. Make sure the gear shift lever is in neutral (N). 2. Press the brake pedal. 3. Move the gear shift lever to the desired position: – P (Park): Locks the transmission and is used when the vehicle is stationary. – R (Reverse): Activates reverse gear. – N (Neutral): Disconnects the transmission from the engine. – D (Drive): Basic driving mode in which the transmission automatically changes gears. – S (Sport): Optimizes transmission performance for more dynamic driving. 4. Release the brake pedal. The car will start moving. Additional tips: *If the vehicle’s engine is not running, you will not be able to move the gear shift lever from the P position. * When shifting into reverse gear, turn on the reverse signal. * Avoid changing gears while the vehicle is moving. * Do not shift the gearshift lever to P while the vehicle is moving, as this may damage the transmission.
