Section 1

 * 1) What is the purpose of each gear in an automatic transmission?
 * 2) *P - Locks the transmission. Never shift to P when driving.
 * 3) *R - For backing up. Never shift to R while the car is moving forward as expensive engine damage can result.
 * 4) *N - Allows the wheels to roll. Shift to N when traffic has been halted for a few minutes. If the engine is stalling while the car is in motion, shift to N, not P, to restart the engine.
 * 5) *D - Normal driving.
 * 6) *Low - For slow, hard pulling/going up or down steep hills; L1 is for going up/down extremely steep grades and when pulling heavy loads/L2 is for driving in the snow.
 * 7) What are the correct procedures for moving and stopping the car?
 * 8) *MOVE: Press on the foot-brake pedal; move the selector to D; release parking brake while continuing to hold down the foot-brake pedal; check for traffic and see if any vehicles are approaching; when the street is clear, you press gently on the accelerator; check for traffic, cancel the signal, let up a little on the accelerator and adjust the speed to traffic conditions.
 * 9) *STOP: Check for traffic; let up on accelerator; tap foot brake lightly to signal for a stop; push down gradually and firmly on the footbrake pedal, ease slightly on brake pedal for smooth stop, shift to P
 * 10) What should you do immediately after you turn off the ignition? Why should you leave the car from the curbside if possible?
 * 11) *Remove the key and release the foot brake; To avoid the risk of opening the door into moving traffic.

Section 2

 * 1) What are the steps for starting the engine and moving the car in first gear?
 * 2) *STARTING THE ENGINE: press clutch pedal with left foot, put gear-shift level in N, depress accelerator part-way and hold; turn on the ignition switch, check warning lights, turn the key forward until engine starts, release, check gauges.
 * 3) *MOVING THE CAR IN FIRST GEAR: move the gear-shift lever to first
 * 4) What is the difference between the procedures for stopping from lower gears and stopping from higher gears?
 * Press down clutch pedal while releasing the accelerator and tap the brake lightly to signal stop/let up the accelerator and tap the brake lightly to signal stop - press foot brake gently and shift to N when stopped/press clutch pedal and brake to smooth stop, subsequently shift to N.
 * 1) When might you use down-shifting?
 * If you have slowed down to 30 mph in fourth, downshifting to third gear allows you to regain speed.
