Which term is NOT a gear position on the shifter?

• A. Park
• B. Reverse
• C. Neutral
• D. Low

Answer: (D)

On an automatic transmission shifter, the standard positions you’ll typically see are Park, Reverse, Neutral, and Drive. Park locks the transmission so the car won’t roll. Reverse engages the gear for moving backward. Neutral disconnects the engine from the wheels so the car can coast. Drive puts the transmission in forward gears that automatically shift as you accelerate.

The term Low isn’t a usual gear position used for everyday driving on most shifters. It’s a special range found on some vehicles for specific conditions (like steep grades or engine braking) and isn’t part of the normal forward-drive positions. Because of that, Low isn’t a standard gear position you select for regular driving, making it the correct answer.
