In drive, autoshift transmissions will shift through gears as needed based on speed and load.

• A. you will use a button to shift through all gears.
• B. it will shift gears as needed based on speed and load.
• C. only the top gears will automatically change.
• D. none of the above.

Answer: (B)

Autoshift transmissions automatically select and change gears based on how fast you’re going and how much load or torque the engine needs. In drive, the system handles all gear changes to keep the engine in its efficient RPM range and to provide the right amount of power for the current conditions. You don’t have to press a button to shift through every gear; the transmission manages that automatically, though some systems may offer manual override if you want to change gears yourself. It shifts across the full range as needed, not just the top gears. The other options misstate how autoshift works, so they’re not correct.
