If you put it in 4 it won't shift into overdrive, actually kind of handy for zipping around town. 3 won't shift beyond third, 2 etc.

D,4,3,2,L is pretty much standard on most automatic transmissions these days. I assume that you would have at least figured this out during your driving exam or if it was a manual exam, being able to at least work out how to drive/operate a vehicle with an automatic. Sorry, but this would scare me if someone driving a car doesn't understand how to operate an automatic gearbox.........

Use D for all normal day-to-day driving. D is an overdrive gear that will save gasoline. I use 4 only for long steep hills. The extra RPM provided by 4th gear will maintain my speed without having to get down on the accelerator.
